Just a quick question : who uses HMAC-MD5? I remember adding it because
i started writing a PSK cracker, and I wanted to test the HMAC
functions. But devine just wrote his own in aircrack, and I never
bothered with this again. (BTW, the implementation in aircrack-ng is not
so good, especially on AMD64)
Is there a single application that uses just a call to HMAC-MD5? I never
seen any question about its usage here. It might be a good idea to just
dump it ...
