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

MDC-2 is a cryptographic hash function designed in 1987. Although it is less known, it has been used in niche cryptographic systems and for research purposes. As a hash function, it can be used in various applications such as:

  • Digital signatures.
  • Data integrity checks.
  • Secure communication protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Shell (SSH), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), etc.

This crate implements MDC-2 as part of the RustyShield project.
