MD5 Converter
What is MD5?
MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. It's commonly used to verify data integrity but is not suitable for cryptographic security due to vulnerabilities.
Advantages
- Fast computation for large amounts of data
- Widely supported across different platforms and languages
- Useful for checking data integrity and detecting changes
- Can be used for non-cryptographic purposes like data indexing
- Produces a fixed-size output regardless of input size
How to Use
- Choose 'Encode to MD5' or 'Verify MD5' mode
- For encoding: Enter text and see the MD5 hash generated
- For verifying: Enter text and MD5 hash, then click 'Verify'
- Use 'Clear' to reset the input fields
- Note: MD5 is not secure for passwords or sensitive data
