MD5 & SHA Hashing Algorithm

Overview on MD5 Algorithm The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128 bit (16-byte) hash value. It is very simple and straight forward; the basic idea is to map data sets of variable length to data sets of a fixed length. After using MD5, generated hash is typically a 32-digit hexadecimal number .In order to do this, the input message is split into chunks of 512-bit blocks. Now these blocks are processed by …
