Initializes user-supplied memory as IppsMD5State context for future use (deprecated).

Syntax

IppStatus ippsMD5Init(IppsMD5State* pCtx);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pCtx

Pointer to the IppsMD5State context being intialized.

Description

Note

This algorithm is considered weak due to known attacks on it. The functionality remains in the library, but the implementation will no longer be optimized and no security patches will be applied.

The function initializes the memory pointed by pCtx as IppsMD5State context.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.
