1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5EVP_md4 6- MD4 For EVP 7 8=head1 SYNOPSIS 9 10 #include <openssl/evp.h> 11 12 const EVP_MD *EVP_md4(void); 13 14=head1 DESCRIPTION 15 16MD4 is a cryptographic hash function standardized in RFC 1320 and designed by 17Ronald Rivest, first published in 1990. This implementation is only available 18with the legacy provider. 19 20=over 4 21 22=item EVP_md4() 23 24The MD4 algorithm which produces a 128-bit output from a given input. 25 26=back 27 28=head1 NOTES 29 30Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of 31calling this function multiple times and should consider using 32L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-MD4(7)> instead. 33See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information. 34 35=head1 RETURN VALUES 36 37These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the 38implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for 39details of the B<EVP_MD> structure. 40 41=head1 CONFORMING TO 42 43IETF RFC 1320. 44 45=head1 SEE ALSO 46 47L<evp(7)>, 48L<provider(7)>, 49L<EVP_DigestInit(3)> 50 51=head1 COPYRIGHT 52 53Copyright 2017-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
