MD5
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.
