The RIPEMD folks have been carefully tweaking Pentium hashing times.
A speed chart is available at http:
Actually, MD5 is still holding up, but Dobbertin has indeed dented it.
Frankly, it would take a *hell* of a determined attacker to manage

All of RIPEMD-160, SHA-1 and MD5 are variants on MD4.
Frankly, I find the desig
