TSIG Algorithms
Current TSIG Proposed Standard [RFC 2845] defines only “HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT”.
Weaknesses in MD5/SHA-1 do not apply to HMAC so it may be OK but:
Some people want to use government approved algorithms, i.e., at least SHA-1.
Various SHA-224+ algorithms are believed to be stronger than MD5/SHA-1.
Some people want to truncate their MACs.
