[Electionteam] putting a security hash on data

[Lulu Friesdat]

Ray,
Do you hash the CVRs?
We are going to download a bunch that we have links for and make them
available to the public. We'd like to hash them so we know that the data
has not changed when people use it.

Do you have suggestions for this?

I found these two links.


   - Here is some info about using hashes to ensure that a document has not
   changed.

      - They also recommend this article, although they warn that MD5 has
   security issues.

Thank you.
