1. In 1996, the Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash algorithm used by protocols such as RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) to protect passwords was found to have a weakness that could subject it to collision attacks. In 2004, researchers showed that the practical ability for such an attack was very unlikely. Determine whether or not adopters of protocols that use MD5 should continue to use them. Explain why or why not.
