why? he states:

"To a user of cryptographic systems -- as I assume most readers are --
this news is important, but not particularly worrisome.  MD5 and SHA
aren't suddenly insecure.  No one is going to be breaking digital
signatures or reading encrypted messages anytime soon with these
techniques.  The electronic world is no less secure after these
announcements than it was before."
