I came upon this article by chance. Having a little knowledge of computer programming, I think I know what it is about, but wouldn't it be better if someone was to indicate the purpose and usage of the algorithm? At a minimum, it needs to be linked to Hash function (assuming that this is what it is actually about). I'd make the edit myself, but I'm not exactly confident I've not misunderstood. I think this suggestion falls under the WP:OBVIOUS editing recommendation. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 17:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Random oracle is a theoretical construct that is impossible to create in practice. If MuHASH really depends on a random oracle, then it isn't too inefficient to use, it's impossible to use; the question of whether it has been successfully attacked is academic. (In fact, a random oracle would itself serve as a perfect hash function.) - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 20:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
