    Well, for starters, there's:
    SHA-256
    SHA-384
    SHA-512

    The numbers refer to the bit length of the generated hash. SHA-1 uses only a 160 bit length, called a message digest. But then, you'd know all that if you would have rtfa.

  9. Deterrence factor on Copyright Infringement and Shoplifting Contrasted · · Score: 1

    One of the purposes of a punishment is that it deters the behavior in question. But the deterrence is limited by the perceived chances of getting caught. Most people think they are less likely to get busted for downloading than shoplifting, therefore to deter each of these behaviors, the punishment should be greater for downloading.

    d = deterrence
    p = punishment
    c = chances of getting caught

    d = pc
