Message Digest

MD5 Message Digest #5

is the most popular hash algorithm. Currently, it is used in SSL, PGP, HTTP authentication, Tripwire, and many other places. The algorithm reads an input file or message calculates a "unique" 128-bit fingerprint. This fingerprint is believed to be "unique"; while it is theoretically possible that two inputs could hash to the same fingerprint, it is nearly statistically impossible.
