[Bug 1288593] Re: Please include SHA256 or SHA512 hashes on Ubuntu Hashes page
@Phillip:
It doesn't have anything to do with the ubuntu-docs package either. The access to the page in question is restricted, Colin has maintained it lately, and ISO file stuff ought to be closer related to the installer than the docs. ;-)

Title:
Please include SHA256 or SHA512 hashes on Ubuntu Hashes page
Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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.
