[Spooks] Fw: [WUN] News Report

[El Kristo]

Chris,

I mean no disrespect but the veracity of this fact is becoming more
and more doubtful. Check this link:

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html

The author writes "The paper isn't generally available yet. At this
point I can't tell if the attack is real, but the paper looks good and
this is a reputable research team".

Dated as of February 15th. Paper yet to be published...mmm, I wonder why?

Al.
