1. It is a misnomer to refer to "shared secret" in RFC 1948. The secret is not shared with any entity. 2. Implying that because DES can be brute-forced that MD5 can be brute-forced is just silly. Yes, in another 100 years, if Moore's Law continues to hold, which is unlikely. Suggestion - write an internet-draft and get the end2end group to endorse your scheme, rather than commiting FreeBSD to it.
