Thank you.
Regarding MD5 vs. SHA-1:
I am using an algorithm for encryption which builds the key with various
algorithms one of which is MD5. This combination of algorithms includes
MD5, SHA-1, and blowfish, among others. I did not specify the combination
of these algorithms. I am just needing to decrypt data that conforms to
these specifications.
Thank you for your help,
Chas.
