MD5MessageDigest

Computes MD5 digest value of the input message (deprecated).

Syntax

IppStatus ippsMD5MessageDigest(const Ipp8u *pMsg, int len, Ipp8u *pMD);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pMsg

Pointer to the input message.

len

Message length in octets.

pMD

Pointer to the resultant digest.

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 uses the selected hash algorithm to compute digest value of the entire (non-streaming) input message.

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.

ippStsLengthErr

Indicates an error condition if the input data stream length is less than zero.

Example

The code example below shows MD5 digest of a message.

void MD5_sample(void){
   // define message


   Ipp8u msg[] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";


   // once the whole message is placed into memory,
   // one can use the integrated primitive
   Ipp8u digest[16];
   ippsMD5MessageDigest(msg, strlen((char*)msg), digest);
}
