Configurable token hash algorithm
Tokens were always hashed with MD5. This change allows tokens to
be hashed with SHA256 (or any other algorithm supported by the
keystoneclient token hash function). This is for security
hardening.
There's a new configuration option 'hash_algorithm' in the [token]
section. This is the algorithm to use for hashing PKI tokens, so is
used
a) when storing the token in the db
b) as the hash in the revocation list
hash_algorithm defaults to 'md5' for backwards compatibility.

keystoneclient/blob/master/keystoneclient/common/cms.py
def cms_hash_token(token_id):
"""
return: for ans1_token, returns the hash of the passed in token
otherwise, returns what it was passed in.
"""
if token_id is None:
return None
if is_ans1_token(token_id):
hasher = hashlib.md5()
hasher.update(token_id)
return hasher.hexdigest()
else:
return token_id
MD5 is a deprecated mechanism, it should be replaces with at least SHA1, if not SHA256.
Keystone should be able to support multiple Hash types, and the auth_token middleware should query Keystone to find out which type is in use.
