Subject: Exploiting SHA1's "XOR weakness" allows for faster hash calculation
Date: Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:19:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <k9n3jd$akg$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
to say it in advance: I do not want to trigger any bogus security
discussion here. Instead, I believe the findings from [1] allow for an
up to 20% faster SHA1 calculation, if my brief reading of the
presentation is correct. Any opinions on integration this optimization
into Git?
