Re: [Cfrg] Re: [saag] Bad day at the hash function factory



A note to everyone using HMAC: Modern polynomial-evaluation MACs (such
as GCM MAC) offer strong security guarantees (they're provably as secure
as AES) and are faster than HMAC-SHA1. Some of them (not GCM MAC) are
even faster than HMAC-MD5.
