The problem is that the text that is hashed is not random (like a salted password would be) and the space of all sensible clear texts is much much smaller and possibly amenable to brute force.
Also, storing the hash means that messages are irrefutable.
- yunohn 5y agoPasswords are even less random than sensible texts - the whole discussion around rainbow tables and salting is normally about cracking passwords. But do you disagree with my claims? Do you have any sources to backup their invalidity?
