| Apr 21, 2021 at 20:29 | comment | added | jornane | The answer between this question and an unbounded question could be the same. However, the answers MAY also be different, because of these risks with MD5 (which are not mitigated/ignored, MAYBE accepted, but we simply believe that there is no solution to these risks, as it is a sin to merely suggest a better hashing algorithm may exist) | |
| Apr 21, 2021 at 19:53 | comment | added | JamesTheAwesomeDude | My question stands: if MD5 is the best we have, and the risk of a preimage attack is elided / ignored / accepted by fiat for lack of any other option, what differences could there be between this question and one that's hypothetically not bound to MD5? | |

| Apr 21, 2021 at 19:47 | comment | added | JamesTheAwesomeDude | Out of interest, since this question is set in a universe where we're assuming MD5 to be "good enough", doesn't that make the question not-MD5-specific whatsoever? | |

Emphasize in the title that the premise is MD5.
