crypt.MD5

Coerces s to a string and computes a hash value using the MD5 algorithm.

Syntax

crypt.SHA1 (s, flTranslate)

Params

  • s is a string
  • flTranslate is an optional boolean parameter, determining the format of the return value

Returns

The MD5 hash value of s. If flTranslate is true (the default), the hash value is returned as a string in hexadecimal notation (32 characters), otherwise a 16-byte binary object of unknown type is returned.

Examples

crypt.MD5 ("")

“d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e” 

crypt.MD5 ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")

“c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b” 

crypt.MD5 ("message digest")

“f96b697d7cb7938d525a2f31aaf161d0”

Notes

The MD5 algorithm is used for HTTP Digest Authentication (RFC 2617) and various other Internet protocols.
