(** 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.

function [compare] allows the module [Digest] to be passed as
