SHA-1 is fine in this context. SHA-1 isn't as collision-resistant as it was once thought to be, but that's not a property that you care about for this use-case. The same principle applies to checksums that are sometimes published for binaries - many still use MD5 or SHA-1 - and that's fine too, as (second) preimage resistance is what counts here, rather than collision-resistance. |
