...24bit
even, and apply the same method as in the latest method (#5) so not all
of the 1kbit (128byte) hash would need to be transfered. Even if it
gets cracked, as SHA1 did, it should only mean being cryptographically
weakened by a certain amount, which would still end up being larger than
the 160bit SHA1 we originally started using.
In theory, a random hash chunk as small as 32bit could be considered
sufficient for each page, which with the average Ogg page this means
4bytes vs 4kbytes of transfer when compared to the payload (1/1000th is
a very good ratio). If 32-bits is used as a fixed...
