Is this on the roadmap? I'm concerned about the security of SHA1 against GPU attacks.

Could you describe your concern with SHA1 as it is used in this library in more detail?

Attacks against hash functions are not representative of their security as part of message authentication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code#Security

You can subclass or assign to override default_digest_method if this is a concern for you anyway.

See #80, I'm upgrading this to SHA-512 after more discussion.
