I agree - the reformatted IDs are shorter than the originals, so by the pigeonhole principle you are increasing the chance of collision. I doubt this matters in reality for this case, but the number of comments stating "there is no difference" or something to this effect shows how any added step can easily be misunderstood and could (in the worst case) introduce a fatal security flaw. |
