> Is there a discussion somewhere about the merits of MD5 v. DES? > E.g. what advantages one has over the other? In the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook55.html). But the Reader's Digest version is, MD5 is more secure and is exportable from the US. DES is the algorithm used on other Unix machines (to allow password sharing and NIS). Are there any issues with using the international version of DES in France?
