Hi,

K3B already uses class QCryptographicHash. (In the Debian version it is
deprecated class KMD5.)
See libk3b/tools/k3bmd5job.cpp, line 44.

The newly used class offers a long list of hash algorithms:
  http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcryptographichash.html

If i get it right, then currently MD5 is hardcoded in line 35 of
k3bmd5job.cpp:

                 : md5(QCryptographicHash::Md5),

This hardcoded default needs to be replaced by a user choice among the 
offered algorithms. E.g.  QCryptographicHash::Sha512 .

Now that's where i reach the end of my expertise as C programmer and
command line burner. The remaining work is about C++ tech and testing
whether it works with other algorithms and does not display confusing
messages about MD5 when SHA512 is selected.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
