Needs a (2012) in the title. The hash collisions you mentioned probably got fixed after or because of these CCC congress talks: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4680.en.html https://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4680.en.... https://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/Fahrplan/events/5152.en.html https://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/Fahrplan/events/5152.en.... The article talks about peculiar myths that I haven't heard before. And the first one "the worst case is terrible" is not even a myth if you're hashing function isn't well designed and you have a malicious data provider.
