md5 |
This module implements the interface to RSA's MD5 message digest
algorithm (see also Internet RFC 1321). Its use is quite
straightforward: use the new() to create an md5 object. You can now
feed this object with arbitrary strings using the update() method, and
at any point you can ask it for the digest (a strong kind of 128-bit
checksum, a.k.a. ``fingerprint'') of the contatenation of the strings
fed to it so far using the digest() method.
Functions:
new([arg]) -- return a new md5 object, initialized with arg if provided
md5([arg]) -- DEPRECATED, same as new, but for compatibility
Special Objects:
MD5Type -- type object for md5 objects
