What is md5?

MD5 stands for " Message-Digest algorithm 5 " in cryptography. MD5 is in fact a widely used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value.

As an Internet standard , MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. An MD5 hash is typically expressed as a 32 digit hexadecimal number.

MD5 was designed by Ron Rivest in 1991. The earlier hash function MD4 replaced by MD5 had some serious weaknesses.
