Concatenating two different hashes will decrease security. Instead of an attacker having to crack
one hash algorithm they now have the option of cracking either. It's like a crime scene having
one clue or several clues. In security simplicity is usually the better approach.

security. Instead of an attacker having to crack one hash algorithm they now have the option of
cracking either. It's like a crime scene having one clue or several clues. In security
simplicity is usually the better approach.
