Hello, I always thought, the official notation for "Secure Hash Algorithm #1" [FIPS-180- 1] was "SHA-1", and not "SHA1". However in the documentation I found many occurrencies of "SHA1". If someone is working on spelling errors, could that be changed? Unfortunately RFC 3174 talks about "SHA-1" all the time, with the exception of the title that says: "US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1)"... Regards, Ulrich

I too believe it is SHA-1; I endorse changing all occurences of SHA1 to SHA-1.

Sigh... Such is the world of "standards".
