Switch from MD5 to BLAKE3? #3

Open iamtakingithard opened 2 years ago

iamtakingithard commented 2 years ago

The BLAKE3 is a far more faster and better security. It will be a good replacement for MD5.

iamtakingithard commented 2 years ago

Holy shit, RustCrypto as library is very ancient and currently deprecated so I definetely take care of this.

vaartis commented 2 years ago

MD5 was selected specifically because Erlang (and therefor pleroma) can do it natively. The security really doesn't matter that much here, because these are only alive for about a minute before becoming invalid, while using MD5 makes it easy to implement for whoever is using the service.

iamtakingithard commented 2 years ago

Alright, I will keep MD5 then.

What about something like SHA-256?

What about something like SHA-256?

Seems that erlang does support this one, but the change has to be backwards compatible somehow.
