The problem is that SHA-1 is also rather suspect.
Obviously, SHA-1 isn’t as broken as MD5, but experts in the field have recommended for some time that it should not be used beyond 2010. To this end NIST has sponsored a competition to select a new algorithm which will become SHA-3. The competition closed on October 31 2008 and a total of 64 entries were received of which 51 were assessed as meeting the initial criteria. A final decision is expected in 2012.
