While Andrew's view is very pessimistic here, yours is decidedly optimistic. |

There is no known computationally feasible preimage attack against MD5, |
| 11 |
still that hash function is broken in serious ways with attacks already |
| 12 |
having real-world consequences. |

It would be quite naïve to assume that SHA1 will remain secure until a |
| 15 |
preimage attack is found. |
