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