Though this tool does not necessarily deal with security, we use md5 hashing to distinguish unique URIs, as they're more portable than passing around a URI as a parameter (encoding/decoding would be needed). The recent news of sha1 collisions warrants investigating using another hashing algorithm (e.g., BLAKE2) for distinguishing URIs.
