MD5
MD5 function
| Method Prototype | Description
|
| Function MD5(data As String) As String | compute MD5 checksum
|
This function computes the
MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) cryptographic hash value of the given data. The result is basically a "checksum" value that is unlikely to be duplicated for other data, even if that other data differs only slightly.
See
MD5Digest for a class that performs the same operation, but can work on chunks of the data at a time instead of requiring it all at once.
