Talk:Venti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The assertion that all possible data blocks can be differentiated by a 160-bit SHA-1 hash is just unmitigated blindness: "Venti cannot lie since SHA-1 is a cryptographically secure hash; no data block can be found with the same address.". One would certainly hope Venti does something intelligent when that rare collision happens, rather than silent failure or crash... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siodhe (talk • contribs) 17:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
The article doesn't mention how Venti deals with hash collisions (if it does so at all).

The new venti (nventi?) is now a part of Plan 9, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.116.128 (talk) 06:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
