When XProc added CRC32 to the `p:hash` step, we referenced: > [CRC32] “32-Bit Cyclic Redundancy Codes for Internet Applications”, The International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks: 459. 10.1109/DSN.2002.1028931. P....

There was a lot of discussion in comments on the [previous PR](https://github.com/qt4cg/qtspecs/pull/1226) so it's worth looking there if you haven't already.

There were two threads in [today's meeting](https://qt4cg.org//meeting/minutes/2024/05-21.html) that I'd like to comment on: 1. cryptographic security and 2. why are CRC32, MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 good choices for standardization? 1....

The assertion that BLAKE3 is "the most efficient" hashing algorithm seems to disregard @benibela 's pointer to 155 faster algorithms.. And "most secure" is, of course, only temporary. There are...

(As an independent member of the community group and very definitely **not** in my role as co-chair...) While I'm sympathetic to the idea that a standard, modern hashing function would...

I am not persuaded that we *need* another option. I understand that you believe we do, but I haven't found your arguments persuasive. I encourage implementors to support BLAKE3 and...

Why does that last example give incorrect results? Because "Z" is misisng?
