Deeply effected? Don't you mean "affected"? Please don't confuse "it's" (it is) with "its" (possessive pronoun). It's a credibility thing. On another front, can you tell us anything about the NSA's contest to produce the best hash algorithm? Is it being taken seriously?

Hash algorithms are more of a concern for cryptographers, not financial cryptographers. As far as the FCers are concerned, the current batch is fine. In more theoretical terms, SHA2 is pareto-secure, so where's the fire?
