34.Sh NAME
35.Nm MD5 ,
36.Nm MD5Init ,
37.Nm MD5Transform
38.Nd message digest routines
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In sys/types.h
41.In sys/md5.h
42.Ft void
43.Fn MD5Init "MD5_CTX *buf"
44.Ft void
45.Fn MD5Transform "uint32_t buf[4]" "const unsigned char block[64]"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49module implements the RSA Data Security, Inc.\& MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
50(MD5).
51It produces 128-bit MD5 Digest of data.
52.Bl -hang -width MD5Transformxxx
53.It Pa MD5Init
54must be called just before
55.Fn MD5Transform
56will be used to produce a digest.
57The
58.Fa buf
59argument is the storage for the digest being produced on subsequent
60calls to the
61.Fn MD5Transform
62routine.
63.It Pa MD5Transform
64is the core of the MD5 algorithm, this alters an existing MD5 hash
65kept in
66.Fa buf
67to reflect the addition of 64 characters
68of new data passed in
69.Fa block
70argument.
71.El
72.Sh COPYRIGHTS
73The code for MD5 transform was taken from Colin Plumb's
74implementation, which has been placed in the public domain.
75The MD5 cryptographic checksum was devised by Ronald Rivest, and is
76documented in RFC 1321, "The MD5 Message Digest Algorithm".
