It does have hash functions, but digital signatures also require public key cryptography (or its moral equivalent). Unless I'm missing something significant, it doesn't look to me like ACF supports such things. Is ACF dead, BTW? It looks like it has the potential of being a nice project. Should it prove necessary for me to implement digital signatures myself I might be interested in contributing the result to the open source community and ACF seems like one option for that. I wrote to the administrator of the project, but so far I have not gotten a reply. Peter
