A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Attacks on Cryptographic Hashes in Internet Protocols
Author(s) : P. Hoffman, B. Schneier
Filename : draft-hoffman-hash-attacks-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2005-3-28
Recent announcements of better-than-expected collision attacks in
popular hash algorithms have caused some people to question whether
common Internet protocols need to be changed, and if so, how. This
document summarizes the use of hashes in many IETF protocols,
discusses how the collision attacks affect and do not affect the
protocols, shows how to thwart known attacks on digital certificates,
and discusses future directions for protocol designers.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
