Original bug ID: 5454
Reporter: @dbuenzli
Assigned to: meyer
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2012-09-25T18:07:21Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: low
Severity: feature
Version: 3.12.1
Fixed in version: 3.13.0+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Monitored by: @dbuenzli

Bug description

Digest.compare would be nice to be able to directly give the module to Set.Make and Map.Make. Besides the doc states :

"The digests are of cryptographic quality: it is very hard, given a digest, to forge a string having that digest. The algorithm used is MD5."

The assertion is still true, however it should be mentioned that md5 is no longer secure in a malicious setting as it is vulnerable to collision attacks.

Best,

Daniel
