Hong Kong Post Office

It's official folks, the Hong Kong Post Office certificate registrar uses the secure SHA1 hash algorithm not the now-vulnerable MD5. Security Now in-joke :-)

For what it's worth, the official title for the Hong Kong government is sure a mouthful isn't it? And here I was thinking the various Australian government departments had unnecessarily long and complicated names!
