34.Sh NAME
35.Nm md5
36.Nd message digest routines
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Fd #include <sys/kernel.h>
39.Va void MD5Init(u_int32_t buf[4]);
40.br
41.Va void MD5Transform(u_int32_t buf[4], u_int32_t const in[16]);
42.br
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46module implements the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
47(MD5). It produces 128-bit MD5 Digest of data.
48.Pp
49.Bl -hang -width MD5Transform
50.It Pa MD5Init
51must be called just before
52.Fn MD5Transform
53will be used to produce a digest. the
54.Fa buf
55argument is the storage for the digest being produced on subsequent
56calls to the
57.Fn MD5Transform
58routine.
59.It Pa MD5Transform
60is the core of the MD5 algorithm, this alters an existing MD5 hash
61kept in
62.Fa buf
63to reflect the addition of 16 longwords
64of new data passed in
65.Fa in
66argument.
67.Sh COPYRIGHTS
68The code for MD5 transform was taken from Colin Plumb's
69implementation, which has been placed in the public domain.  The
70MD5 cryptographic checksum was devised by Ronald Rivest, and is
71documented in RFC 1321, "The MD5 Message Digest Algorithm".
