Note Submitter: chris at acsdi dot com ---- Alan is entirely wrong, please ignore his comment and/or vote it down. This method encodes the algorithm and other parameters into the returned hash. Deliberately specifying the algorithm to use should only be done in a carefully considered scenario, and these functions are designed and policies have been decided to ensure wide compatibility. The risk of forcing a particular algorithm is that your code will continue to use a weaker algorithm as newer ones are implemented and strengthened.
