1-Way Hash

Hello Group,



This is my first post to this group. Thanks to all of you for being here and for any help you may provide.



I am looking for a 1-way hash for storing passwords. The computational load for SHA1 will excessively stress the system. I'm looking for a C++ class or algorithm that is less computationally intensive than SHA1. I can trade memory for cycles, if anyone has any ideas involving a table or something along those lines.



Thanks again for any and all responses,



Chip

Vladimir,

Thanks. I took a look at that, and it may be what I need.
