------------------------------------

             Summary: Support for stronger hashes as alternatives to MD5
                 Key: SASL-39
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SASL-39
             Project: JBoss SASL Provider
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 1.0.4.CR1


Presently Digest authentication is based on MD5 - however we should either update the mechanism or add new mechanisms to support the use of stronger hashes.

As this library is used both client and server side installations that require the stronger hashes can just ensure the client and server have the latest version of this library - installations that still require interaction with MD5 will need to ensure that it is still available as a mechanism.
