Tripcode
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:33 pm
Hi, I want to add a tripcode to my application
Tripcodes should be:
* Small
Tripcodes are flexible in that:
* Inputs are generally small
* They can use any printable character
Would a truncated (say, 10 letters of an) md5() hash of the secret key, username and password work? Or would a full md5 be preferable (even though it's much longer)? It appears sha256() is too big for tripcodes...
