NAME

MD5 - implementation of the MD5 one-way hash function

SYNOPSIS

VAR hash: OneWayHashes.Hash;

DESCRIPTION

MD5 offers an implementation of OneWayHashes. MD5 uses the MD5 (Message Digest 5) one-way hash function. The MD5 algorithm was developed by Ron Rivest. Look at R.Rivest, The MD5 Message Digest algorithm, RFC 1321, Apr 1992 for more information. MD5 takes an arbitrary-length message and returns a 128 bit hash value.

During its initialization, MD5 creates an interface of the type defined in OneWayHashes and assigns it to hash.
