- If you need to compute MD5 digest strings for files or messages in your
- projects, this stuff might be useful. Remember, though, that I can give
- you NO WARRANTIES at all (this package is provided "as is").
-
- Files in this package:
-
- aamd532.dll - DLL implementing RSA MD5 digest algorithm
- MD5.bas - A VB MODULE wrapper for the RSA MD5 DLL
- Wrapper Functions:
- MD5String (some string) -> MD5 digest of the given string as 32 bytes string
- MD5File (some filename) -> MD5 digest of the file's content as a 32 bytes string
- returns a null terminated "FILE NOT FOUND" if unable to open the
- given filename for input
- read-me.txt - this file
- Rivest-MD5.txt - original text and C source code from RSA
-
- To install and use:
-
- 1. Unpack the files.
- 2. Copy the DLL of your choice to somewhere in your search path, so
- that your applications can find it.
- IMPORTANT: The aamd532.dll DLL MUST be somewhere in your search path
- for this to work
- 3. Insert the BAS module in your VB projects.
- 4. Call the wrapper functions as needed.
-
- If you don't like VB, or if you need something more elaborate, maybe you should
- download md5server.zip, at ftp://nt00.esquadro.com.br/md5server.zip. It's
- an ActiveX instantiable object wrapper around the DLL that can be used from
- any program, no matter what language you wrote their source code in. This
- in process server is also free, and can be part of a DELPHI application,
- for instance. MD5Server.zip is a 1.2 MB bundle.

- RSA required notices follow.
-
- The MD5 algorithm is defined in RFC1321.
-
- The basic C code implementing the algorithm is derived
- from that in the RFC and is covered by the following
