There are attacks that does it such as "man in the middle". Sender and Receiver both know the secret key ($mysecret). Sender sends data ($email) itself and message digest ($key). When receiver receives message he checks if data is changed or not by performing same operation $key = sha1($mysecret . $email); and comparing computed $key with the one he received. You need to research for further information. Search using "message authentication codes" or "message digest" |
