(** MD5 message digest.
This module provides functions to compute 128-bit 'digests' of
arbitrary-length strings or files. The digests are of cryptographic
quality: it is very hard, given a digest, to forge a string having
that digest. The algorithm used is MD5. This module should not be
used for secure and sensitive cryptographic applications. For these
kind of applications more recent and stronger cryptographic
primitives should be used instead.
arbitrary-length strings or files. The algorithm used is MD5.
The MD5 hash function is not cryptographically secure.
Hence, this module should not be used for security-sensitive
applications. More recent, stronger cryptographic primitives
should be used instead.
