-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
There is a thread in the alt.security.pgp newsgroup that is discussing the same concept. It would be more secure to use PGP (which uses MD5, RSA, and Idea) to digitally sign each of your pages so that anyone can test the validity of your work. These signatures are nearly impossible to foil (assuming you use a reasonably large key size, >1024 bits) and can be varified by anyone who has your public key. For commercial use, it costs about $100 and it's free for individual or nonprofit use. Details can be found in my web pages: http://www.vt.edu:10021/A/aweasler/pgp_info.html

Tony Weasler
