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
In the following example, the output string from the MD5digest method is converted to hex using the StringToHex intrinsic method:
printText {~} is {'this is a test':md5digest:stringtohex}
The result is:
'this is a test':md5digest:stringtohex is 9034E10B7993EB846B6D127070E71E25
See also
- SHAdigest returns the SHA digest of the method object string, and RC4encrypt returns the RC4 encryption of the method object string.
