+A CryptographicHash is a [Hash] for which is it is VeryImpossible
to construct a document that results in a hash value known beforehand. This makes such hash functions useful for signing documents to assure their integrity. Several well known and understood algorithms fall in this category:
* MD2 as per RFC:1319, a good (still?) but slow hashing algorithm
* MD4 as per RFC:1320
* [MD5] as per RFC:1321, based on MD2 but faster. People should be phasing out their use of this by now.
