 * Redirect to cryptographic hash function, if anyone ever finds a reference they can restore the article. -- Explodicle (T/C) 18:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Google disagrees, appears to be made up term. Redirect unnecessary. MediaMob (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see your google search and raise you one of its hits. -- Explodicle (T/C) 15:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The term used in that article is "one-way" security, which is a description of the method, not a term for the cryptographic technology. The paper is referring to one-way functions. Wronkiew (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Are either of these what you have in mind? -- Explodicle  (T/C) 18:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, there is at least one instance of the term being used in the field of cryptography. A redirect wouldn't hurt. Wronkiew (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Agree that this is a made up term for a real technology. Cryptographic hash function is a much more complete article about the same topic. Wronkiew (talk) 05:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Cryptographic hash function, for which the title is a neologism. Erik the Red  2 ( AVE · CAESAR ) 18:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
