A message-digest hashing alogorithm that compresses a message of arbitrary length into a 128-bit digest.
The CryptoAPI algorithm name for the MD5 hash algorithm. Other hashing algorithms include MD2, MD4, and SHA. See also MD5 algorithm.
Message Digest (5th version) algorithm, creates a message digest to guarantee that e-mail messages have not been altered in transit.
An algorithm used in ensuring message integrity.
A hashing algorithm intended for use on 32-bit machines to create digital signatures. MD5 is a one-way hash function, meaning that it converts a message into a fixed string of digits that form a message digest.
The message digest function defined in RFC 1321.
A very secure encrypted hash algorithm.
An algorithm that assures data integrity by generating a unique, 128-bit cryptographic message digest value from the contents of a file. If as little as a single bit value in the file is modified, the MD5 checksum for the file will change. Forgery of a file in a way that will cause MD5 to generate the same result as that for the original file is considered extremely difficult.
Algorithm for generating hash values (MD5 checksum of a file). These checksums are generated in a way that makes it virtually impossible to create a file that has a given MD5 checksum but a different content than the original file.
Message Digest 5. See MD5.
essage igest] MD5 is an algorithm which takes an input of any length, and outputs a message digest of a fixed length (128-bit, 32 characters). MD5 is used in phpBB to turn the users' passwords into a one-way hash, meaning that you cannot reverse an MD5 hash and get a users' passwords.

MD5 [7] is a secure hashing function that converts an arbitrarily long data stream into a digest of fixed size.
Message Digest Algorithm number 5
A message digest algorithm by RSA Data Security, Inc., which can be used to produce a short digest of data of any size, which has a high probability of being unique. It is mathematically extremely difficult to reproduce the same message digest.
(Message Digest-5). Authentication algorithm developed by RSA. MD5 generates a 128-bit message digest using a 128-bit key. IPSec truncates the message digest to 96 bits.
An algorithm, see RFC1321, that can be used to compute a MIC. PICS specifies this particular algorithm for use in PICS labels.
Message Digest # 5. An algorithm that takes a file or message and summarizes the contents into a 'digest', the same result will always be produced if the input file/message is unchanged.
A popular and fast cryptographic hash function that outputs 128-bit message digests. Its internal structure is known to be weak, and should be avoided if at all possible.
(Message Digest Algorithm #5): a mathematical algorithm used to insure message integrity that produces a 128-bit message digest or secure hash. The MD5 is a vital step in producing and verifying a Digital Signature.
An algorithm for creating a cryptographic hash (or "fingerprint") of a message or of data.
In cryptography, MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely-used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. As an Internet standard (RFC 1321), MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files.
secure hash, or message digest, algorithm developed by Ron Rivest.
Message Digest 5. A one-way hash function designed by Ron Rivest. A stronger version of MD4.
Message Digest 5. An encryption method used on the Internet.
A message digest one-way hash function designed by Ron Rivest. The algorithm produces a 128-bit hash, or message digest, of the input message.
A message digest algorithm that was developed by Ronald Rivest. See also one-way hash.
Message Digest [algorithm] 5. A specific encryption protocol, often used for accessing protected webpages.
Message Digest 5. One way hash that combines a shared secret and the message (the header and payload) to produce a 128-bit value. The recipient of the message runs the same hash of the message and compares it with the inserted hash value to yield the same result, which indicates that nothing in the packet has been changed in transit. SHA is more secure than MD4 and MD5. Cisco uses hashes for authentication within the IPSec framework. RFC 2403 documents the latest version of MD5.
A message digest algorithm by RSA Data Security. MD5 can be used to produce a short digest of data that is unique with high probability. It is mathematically extremely hard to produce a piece of data that produces the same message digest email.
An improved version of MD4, it is a hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash value.
Message Digest 5 (MD5) is a digital signature algorithm used to verify data integrity used to negotiate a secure form of encrypted authentication.
Hashing technique that creates 128-bit message digest.
A message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest.
An algorithm that assures data integrity by generating a 128-bit cryptographic message digest value from given data. If as little as a single bit value in the data is modified, the MD5 checksum for the data changes. Forgery of data in a way that will cause MD5 to generate the same result as that for the original data is considered computationally infeasible.
Message Digest 5. A hash algorithm used for data authentication and to verify integrity of the communication.
See definition for: Message digest algorithm 5 (MD5)
A computer algorithm that calculates "hash value" or a unique number when passed a string of data, such as in a text file or an EXE file. Hash values prove that the original file is unmodified.
Message Digest (Version 5)
A one-way hash algorithm used to create a message digest for digital signatures. MD5 is used with 32-bit machines and can be used when large messages have to be compressed in a secure format before a private key is used.
Message Digest 5. The most secure of the RSA message digest (MD) family, a hash function that mathematically reduces a variable length of data into a reproducible fixed length "digest" of that message.
One of the two most popular non-keyed message digest programs. It makes a 128-bit digest which means a birthday attack against its strong collision resistance using 128/2 = 64 bits makes it vulnerable. In addition, MD5 collisions have been found for small messages. Because of this, other more secure hash methods are rapidly replacing MD5.
(Message Digest 5) A more secure, more complex version of MD4, but still a 128-bit, one-way hash function. Although now widely used, MD5 contains a few flaws discovered in 1996 making it slightly weaker, so it is gradually falling out of favor in deference to another message digest function known as SHA-1. See also message digest.
Message Digest 5. A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash used for generating message authentication signatures. MD-5 is used in AH and ESP. See also SHA-1.
An industry-standard one-way, 128-bit hashing scheme, developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., and used by various Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) vendors for encrypted authentication. A hashing scheme is a method for transforming data (for example, a password) in such a way that the result is unique and cannot be changed back to its original form. The CHAP authentication protocol uses challenge-response with one-way MD5 hashing on the response. In this way, you can prove to the server that you know your password without actually sending the password over the network. See also: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol); hash algorithm; message digest
An algorithm, created in 1991, that is used to create digital signatures. It is intended for use with 32-bit machines. It is a one-way hash function, meaning that it converts a message into a fixed string of digits called a message digest.

Message Digest 5. A hash algorithm used to authenticate packet data. HMAC is a key hashing for message authentication.
