About MD5
MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) produces a 128-bit hash value. While it was once widely used for security purposes, it is now considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for security applications due to collision vulnerabilities.
- Still useful for file integrity verification (non-security contexts)
- Fast computation makes it suitable for checksums
- Not recommended for password hashing or digital signatures
- Collisions can be found in seconds on modern hardware
- Consider SHA-256 or SHA-3 for security-sensitive applications
