The CryptoAPI algorithm name for the MD2 hash algorithm. Other hashing algorithms include MD4, MD5, and SHA. See also MD2 algorithm.
A cryptographic hash function optimized for 16-bit platforms. It has poor performance characteristics on other platforms, and has a weak internal structure.
secure hash, or message digest, algorithm developed by Ron Rivest.
A hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash value.
(Message Digest 2) 128-bit, one-way hash function that is dependent on a random permutation of bytes. MD2 is considered very secure, but takes a long time to compute, and therefore is rarely used. See also message digest.
A hash algorithm that creates a 128-bit hash value and was developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. See also: hash algorithm
Message Digest Algorithm 2 (MD2) is a cryptographic hash function developed by Ronald Rivest in 1989. The algorithm is optimized for 8-bit computers. MD2 is specified in RFC 1319.
