Description
- sha1 is a bit too broken for general use (http://alf.nu/SHA1)
- sha-256 is looking a bit shaky (vulnerable to length-extension attacks)
SHA3 and Blake2b are modern alternatives; SHA3 is probably more well-known, however blake2b offers comparable security with better performance, and is supported by both openssl and libsodium.
