Should I use something in the SHA series?
What is the best practice for this use case?
MD5 should be completely acceptable for this task, because you may not need to worry about people maliciously making files to generate wrong duplicates.
Is the amount of MD5 still suitable for checking file fraud? I know it is not safe, but is it really important in the case of trying to find file spoofing?
Should I use something in the SHA series?
What is the best practice for this use case?
In this particular case, the choice of algorithm may not be so important. The main reason for using SHA1 instead of MD5 is related to the creation of cryptographically secure signatures.
