Don't know if you misunderstood. It's probably my lousy way of writing it 
Concerning SHA-512, it's the best OE currently has to offer I'm afraid. The article contradicts itself btw, "Only cryptographic hash functions may be used to implement password hashing. Hash functions like SHA256, SHA512, RipeMD, and WHIRLPOOL are cryptographic hash functions." and further on: "Nevertheless, it is a good idea to use a more secure hash function like SHA256, SHA512, RipeMD, or WHIRLPOOL if possible." And in the FAQ near the end: "DO NOT use: Fast cryptographic hash functions such as MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, RipeMD, WHIRLPOOL, SHA3, etc." I think if you use SHA-512 you can fend of the legal sharks in case of theft
