ยงMD5 - rs_md5 - Message Digest Algorithm 5

Important Note: This crate is still a work in progress and is not ready for consumption.

MD5 is a widely used cryptographic hash function designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991. Although it is now considered to be broken in terms of security, it has been historically used in a variety of security and data integrity applications, including:

  • Digital signatures.
  • Certificate fingerprints in the X.509 digital certificate standard.
  • Secure communication protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Shell (SSH), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), etc.

This crate implements MD5 as part of the RustyShield project.
