Practically, the hash value of a server host key can be (relatively) long and thoroughly compare it with the record again and again can be annoying. For example, for a given md5 hash value:

This answer on another question on security stackexchange by a very reputed user explains why he prefers GnuPG over OpenSSL for file encryption. From what I understand, it can be summarized as this:

I know that MD5 is a poor choice for hashing passwords, but its not my ideia.
Imagine that we would use the username as a salting mechanism, wich is also bad idea, but just for an example. First, we md5 or sha1 this username… Continue reading Using MD5 as salt
Without brute forcing, is possible to induce to a result on md5sum of a file, for example a file text? is mathematically “makeable”? The only way is using brute-forcing techniques?
In other words it can be asked : Is it possi… Continue reading Is possible to fake md5sum? [on hold]

So I ran openssl speed md5 && openssl speed blowfish and blowfish seem quicker than md5.
Here are the results (ran on windows WSL).

Doing md5 for 3s on 16 size b… Continue reading openssl speed tells me blowfish is much quicker than md5, what am I missing?
