Hi Tork,

please define "strong", a 128 bit hash isn't enough to identify a file within a typical horizon? I like the idea of shortened keys. I allready suggested to use an truncated MD5 hash, since 64 Bit should be enough to identify a file in a typical horizon (less bandwith wasted). The hash in binary messages does not need to be Base32 (or whatever) encoded.
