SHA1 isn't a checksum, it's a Message Digest.
I am sorry I am confused....
Isn't MD5 a Message Digest? However people use the phrase "MD5 Checksum". For e.g. http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp-manual-21-2.8/html_node/elisp_539.html on the GNU website.
To quote:
"MD5 cryptographic "checksums", or message digests, are 128-bit "fingerprints" of a document or program."
Is there any reason why we can not use word "checksum" with SHA1?
Thanks Sarah
