You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Could SHA256 and/or SHA512 hashes please be included on the Ubuntu
Hashes page (currently located at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes ?

Currently, only MD5 is included, and this is the only https-protected
official page I could find with the hashes. As can be seen in the
Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 ) and the many
citations of source material, MD5 is no longer recommended for this type
of usage.

Also - would it be possible to make the Ubuntu Hashes page more
prominent for downloaders of the various Ubuntu software? It would be
very helpful for checking the integrity of the ISOs against corruption.

Thanks in advance.
