(N) A
cryptographic hash [R1321] that produces a 128-bit hash result and was designed
by Ron Rivest to be an improved version of MD4. (See: Derivation under "MD2".)
[RFC4949:2007]
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. An MD5 hash is typically a 32-character hexadecimal number.
Recently, a number of projects have created MD5 "rainbow tables"
which are easily accessible online, and can be used to reverse many MD5 strings
into their original meanings.
