NAME

6       EVP_md5, EVP_md5_sha1 - MD5 For EVP
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/evp.h>
10
11        const EVP_MD *EVP_md5(void);
12        const EVP_MD *EVP_md5_sha1(void);

DESCRIPTION

15       MD5 is a cryptographic hash function standardized in RFC 1321 and
16       designed by Ronald Rivest.
17
18       The CMU Software Engineering Institute considers MD5 unsuitable for
19       further use since its security has been severely compromised.
20
21       EVP_md5()
22           The MD5 algorithm which produces a 128-bit output from a given
23           input.
24
25       EVP_md5_sha1()
26           A hash algorithm of SSL v3 that combines MD5 with SHA-1 as
27           described in RFC 6101.
28
29           WARNING: this algorithm is not intended for non-SSL usage.

NOTES

32       Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
33       calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
34       EVP_MD_fetch(3) instead.  See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further
35       information.
36

RETURN VALUES

38       These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
39       implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
40       details of the EVP_MD structure.
41

CONFORMING TO

43       IETF RFC 1321.
