Talk:List of checksum algorithms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can we replace/merge this page with Category:Checksum_algorithms - this page has more algorithms listed, but the category seems to have more working links to articles.

[edit] The redirect

This page used to contain a list of the following algorithms

Every one of those which has a wikipedia article, has a cateory tag in either Category:Checksum_algorithms or Category:Cryptographic_hash_functions. Both of those categories seem to be more up-to-date than the list, and with more working links.

I've put a note on Category:Checksum_algorithms to say that Category:Cryptographic_hash_functions contains more similar algorithms. We might want to do vice-versa (mentioning checksums in crypto-hashes category) but I believe the information in this page is completely preserved in those two categories, hence my reasoning for putting in the redirect tag.
