Jul 4, 2011 at 13:33 comment added Richard Gadsden May be worth calling out that the specific requirement of a hash for password storage is different from the requirement for a hash for message integrity (whether transmission, or signing). There are on-going arguments over what is the best approach to password hashing - scrypt/bcrypt/PBKDF2 - but plain SHA-256/SHA-512 is definitely not the right answer.

Apr 1, 2011 at 14:27 comment added nealmcb Your April update to add the chart by "RIM's encryption vendor" adds lots of confusion. It is really an ad for Certicom's ECC stuff with oversized RSA lengths added for effect. They misleading quote NSA and NIST work. As others have already clarified, even the earlier recommendations were overkill. I suggest just deleting the update, or putting it out as an answer, since updating the question also makes it unclear what previous answers were referring to unless people check the dates.
