This is our implementation of the famous MD5 algorithm,
and presents an easy and highly secure way of verifying
the integrity of files. Single-line text, multi-line
text and file contents are all supported inputs. The
resulting MD5 hash is displayed in a textbox for easy
clipboard copying.

Software is often accompanied by an MD5 'hash' (or
'checksum'). This serves as a unique identifier for the
contents of the file - if the file contents change then
so does the MD5 hash, making it easy to verify the
integrity of files.

A brief description of MD5:
The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary
length and produces as output a 128 bit (16 byte)
"fingerprint" of the input (also known as a "message
digest", "checksum" or "hash"). It is conjectured that
it is computationally infeasible to produce two
messages having the same message digest, or to produce
any message having a given prespecified target message
digest. The MD5 algorithm was designed by Ron Rivest.
