However in the documentation I found many occurrencies of "SHA1". If someone is working on spelling errors, could that be changed? Unfortunately RFC 3174 talks about "SHA-1" all the time, with the exception of the title that says: "US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1)"...

I too believe it is SHA-1; I endorse changing all occurences of SHA1 to SHA-1. > Unfortunately RFC 3174 talks about "SHA-1" all the time, with the exception of the > title that says: "US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1)"... Sigh... Such is the world of "standards". ```
