Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) calculates a 160-bit hashed value for the targeted message. Message Digest 5 produces calculates a 128-hash value. MD5 is now considered obsolete because of the “birthday problem”. Notice the increase from 160-bit to 128-bit. Do you think more bits for the hash value makes the algorithm better? Explain your position.
