About MD5

MD5 (Message Digest 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit hash value. It was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 as an improvement over MD4. Although MD5 was once considered secure, it has since been found to have significant vulnerabilities, including the ability to generate collision attacks, making it unsuitable for cryptographic purposes.

In ainneoin a lochtanna slándála, úsáidtear MD5 fós in iarratais neamhshlána, mar shampla seiceálacha sláine comhad, córais seiceála earráidí, agus córais oidhreachta ina bhfuil comhoiriúnacht ag teastáil. Tá sé tábhachtach a thabhairt faoi deara nár chóir MD5 a úsáid le haghaidh feidhmchlár a dteastaíonn slándáil láidir uathu, mar shampla hashing pasfhocal nó sínithe digiteacha.
