This package implements The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, as defined
|
|
in [RFC 1321][] by R. Rivest, published April 1992.
|
|
|
|
It was originally written by Pierre R. Mai, with copious input from
|
|
the cmucl-help mailing-list hosted at cons.org, in November 2001 and
|
|
has been placed into the public domain. In the meantime various fixes
|
|
and improvements for other implementations as well as maintenance have
|
|
been provided by Christophe Rhodes, Alexey Dejneka, Nathan Froyd,
|
|
Andreas Fuchs, John Desoi, Dmitriy Ivanov, and Kevin M. Rosenberg, and
|
|
have been reintegrated into this consolidated version by Pierre R. Mai.
|
|
|
|
**WARNING:** The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm has been compromised as a
|
|
cryptographically secure hash for some time, with known theoretical
|
|
and practical attacks. Therefore use of this implemenation is only
|
|
recommended for legacy uses or uses which do not require a
|
|
cryptographically secure hash. Use one of the newer SHA-2 and SHA-3
|
|
secure hash standards, or whatever is currently deemed
|
|
cryptographically secure for all other uses.

|

this software.
