33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm md5
36.Nd message digest routines
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Fd #include <sys/kernel.h>
39.Va void MD5Init(u_int32_t buf[4]);
40.br
41.Va void MD5Transform(u_int32_t buf[4], u_int32_t const in[16]);
42.br
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46module implements the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
47(MD5).
48It produces 128-bit MD5 Digest of data.
49.Pp
50.Bl -hang -width MD5Transform
51.It Pa MD5Init
52must be called just before
53.Fn MD5Transform
54will be used to produce a digest.
55The
56.Fa buf
57argument is the storage for the digest being produced on subsequent
58calls to the
59.Fn MD5Transform
60routine.
61.It Pa MD5Transform
62is the core of the MD5 algorithm, this alters an existing MD5 hash
63kept in
64.Fa buf
65to reflect the addition of 16 longwords
66of new data passed in
67.Fa in
68argument.
69.El
70.Sh COPYRIGHTS
71The code for MD5 transform was taken from Colin Plumb's
72implementation, which has been placed in the public domain.
73The MD5 cryptographic checksum was devised by Ronald Rivest, and is
74documented in RFC 1321, "The MD5 Message Digest Algorithm".
