I don't know of such a page, and unfortunately couldn't find one with some quick googling. That would definitely be a valid concern for someone writing a public API or REST service, and would be worth researching as part of a project design. On the plus side, hashing algorithms are generally known and publicly available. With a little work, they can be implemented in any language, so I would expect the most popular algorithms to make it in to most or all of the major languages either with core support or 3rd-party support. SHA256 is ok for now, although some people theorize it may be "broken" (ie. take less time to find collisions than you would expect for the size of the hash length) within a few years, and future versions of SHA are already under development. Since hashing evolves over time, it would not be a bad idea to plan a REST service to include different acceptable hash functions. In that way you add functions in the future, and deprecate and remove older ones. It could be as simple as having the user pass a "hash=sha256" parameter with requests that did not use the default preferred hash method. Cheers, and all the best in 2012! Hi Yannick,

The only thing I'm always worried about with signatures is how portable the signing mechanisms are. If SHA1() is insecure now (they say it can be hacked in a matter of hours through brute force now), at least it can be used from any language. As web services tend to improve the cross-languages communication, it would be sad to have one signing method not supported by a specific language. Would you know of any page which would reference all the hashing algorithms and the programming languages in which they are supported? Happy new year, by the way. Hi Blake,

If you are like me, you are probably interested in automation. With the use of commission robotics, you can have your marketing done for you through complete automation. A series of robots performs important, methodical tasks, one after the other and allows you to focus on other aspects of internet marketing. It is really interesting how all of these little robots work in unison to perform all of these tasks. Even though this is extremely interesting to me, I think that it will be interesting for others as well and so here is the link to the video: http://goo.gl/v8qVq I have a video that you might be interested in.
