Attack on Davies-Meyer

Latest comment: 19 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Ok, the merge of several other articles into this one is done, sort of. There is some more information in the old Davies-Meyer article about an attack that I did not merge since I did not understand it. If I just cut and paste that paragraph it will make even less sense since it depends on the notification established further up in the old article and I have changed that notification in this article. So for now I left the old Davies-Meyer article as it is (not turned it into a redirect). I left a note about it and link to it in the Davies-Meyer section of this article. I hope some one can make sense to it and rewrite it properly and merge it some day. --David Göthberg 06:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm curious if one of these methods is preferred to another in general, or under certain circumstances. Are there certain applications where one method is more appropriate than another?
