webref.eu Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi All I have read it's better to use sha1 now rather than md5 to encrypt passwords, i.e. $Password = sha1($Password); If I have a site running using the above technique, would it I encounter problems in terms of password recognition if I then had to move the site to another Linux server? i.e. can the unique items on the Linux server used to achieve the sha1 encryption be moved easily to a new Linux server? Any background info in what files are involved in creating sha1 encrypted passwords welcome too. Thanks all.

jonsjava Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 the sha1 algorithm is a standard mathematical equation, and as such, will produce the same results on any server. You should see no problems moving your script.
