About MD5 Hash
What is MD5?
MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically expressed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number. It was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace an earlier hash function, MD4.
Common Uses
- Verifying file integrity
- Storing checksum values
- Quick data comparison
- Legacy systems compatibility
Security Notice
While MD5 is still widely used for checksums and file verification, it is no longer considered cryptographically secure. For security-critical applications like password hashing, use stronger algorithms like bcrypt, Argon2, or SHA-256.
