About MD5 Hashes
What is MD5?
MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. It was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace MD4.
MD5 is commonly used to verify data integrity. However, it is no longer considered secure against well-funded attackers, as vulnerabilities have been discovered.
Common Uses
- Verifying file integrity (checksums)
- Storing password hashes (not recommended)
- Digital signatures
- Generating unique identifiers for data
- Data fingerprinting
