Comment on Colliding with the SHA prefix of Linux's initial Git commitparent

Comments

I think multiple hashes is the way to go to avoid collisions. it can even be something simple like md5. the chances of finding a collision that matches two or more algorithms is near impossible. Obviously that doesn’t work for passwords, but for verifying that data hasn’t been tampered with, it works.
