16-byte MD5 digest (String class)


The MD5digest intrinsic function that returns the 16-byte (always) binary string that is the MD5 digest (hash) of the method object string.

Syntax

%outString = string:MD5digest

Syntax terms

%outString A string variable to receive the MD5 digest of the method object string.
string The string to which the method is applied.

Usage notes

  • MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a well-known cryptographic hashing function which is used in the Janus Network Security product for digital signatures. A complete explanation of MD5 hashing can easily be found on the Internet.
  • MD5digest is available for use by Janus SOAP or Janus Network Security customers.
  • The 16-byte MD5 hash of a string is typically expressed as a 32-digit hex value.
  • MD5digest is available as of Sirius Mods version 7.3.

Examples

  1. In the following example, the output string from the MD5digest method is converted to hex using the StringToHex intrinsic method:

    printText {'this is a test':md5digest:stringtohex}

    The result is:

    'this is a test':md5digest:stringtohex is 9034E10B7993EB846B6D127070E71E25

  • SHAdigest returns the SHA digest of the method object string, and
  • RC4encrypt returns the RC4 encryption of the method object string.
