14=head1 DESCRIPTION
15
16MD5 is a cryptographic hash function standardized in RFC 1321 and designed by
17Ronald Rivest.
18
19The CMU Software Engineering Institute considers MD5 unsuitable for further
20use since its security has been severely compromised.
21

23
24=item EVP_md5()
25
26The MD5 algorithm which produces a 128-bit output from a given input.
27
28=item EVP_md5_sha1()
29
30A hash algorithm of SSL v3 that combines MD5 with SHA-1 as decirbed in RFC
316101.
32
33WARNING: this algorithm is not intended for non-SSL usage.

39
40These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
41implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
42details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
