What is MD5?

MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. While it was originally designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities. It is still used for non-cryptographic purposes, such as determining the partition for a particular key in a partitioned database, and may be preferred due to its lower computational requirements compared to newer SHA algorithms.

Security Warning

MD5 is cryptographically broken and should not be used for security-sensitive applications like password hashing or digital signatures. For secure hashing, consider using SHA-256, SHA-512, or Bcrypt.
