DESCRIPTION
MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a
128 bit output.
MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message
digest of the n bytes at d and
place it in md (which must have space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH
== MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output).
If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static
array.
The following functions may be used if the message is not
completely stored in memory:
MD2_Init() initializes a MD2_CTX structure.
MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message
to be hashed (len bytes at data).
MD2_Final() places the message digest in md,
which must have space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output,
and erases the MD2_CTX.
MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(),
and MD5_Final() are analogous using an MD4_CTX and MD5_CTX structure.
Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3) etc.
instead of calling the hash functions directly.
NOTE
MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with
existing applications. In new applications, SHA-1 or RIPEMD-160
should be preferred.
RETURN VALUES
MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() return pointers to the hash value.
MD2_Init(), MD2_Update(), MD2_Final(), MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(),
MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() do not return
values.
