About MD5 Hashing
MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (32-character hexadecimal) hash value.
Common Uses:
- File integrity: Verify file downloads and transfers
- Checksums: Detect data corruption
- Data deduplication: Identify duplicate files
- Caching: Generate cache keys
- Simple verification: Non-cryptographic data validation
Characteristics:
- Fixed length: Always produces 32-character hexadecimal output
- Deterministic: Same input always produces same hash
- Fast: Quick computation for large amounts of data
- One-way: Cannot be reversed to get original data
Security Note: MD5 is not secure for cryptographic purposes. Use SHA-256 or stronger algorithms for security-sensitive applications.
