- If I remember correctly a while ago there was an article about a
- prove MD5 can (in theory) been broken but a double aplication
- can be proven to be unbreakable.
-
- I have two questions, first is who knows more about this subject,
- second is whet exactly does double use mean. Does in mean
- callinf the MD5TRANS function twice with the same block of
- 64 bytes?
-
