MD5 insteadpublic class Md5Old
extends java.security.MessageDigest
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
A message digest algorithm represents the functionality of an one-way hash function for computing a fixed sized data value (message digest, hash) from input data of arbitrary size. The length of the resulting hash value usually is shorter than the length of the input data. Using a one-way hash function will make it easy to compute the hash from the given data, but hard to go the reverse way for calculating the input data when only the hash is known. Furthermore, a proper hash function should avoid any collision, meaning that it has to be hard to find two different messages producing the same hash value.
The MD5 message digest algorithm produces a 128-Bit hash-value of the given input data. First the input data is properly padded and subsequently extended by a 64-Bit representation of the data's original length to become a multiple of 512 Bit. The resulting text is devided into 512-Bit blocks, each of it again devided into sixteen 32-Bit sub-blocks. Each of the 512-Bit blocks is processed in a main loop. Input of the main loop are four 32-Bit variables, which are properly initialized with constant values for the first main loop run processing the first 512-Bit block. Each main loop run is featured with a new 512-Bit block as long as there blocks available. Each main loop run produces an output of four 32-Bit variables which are added to the initial four 32-bit variables to be fed into the next main loop run for pocessing the next 512-Bit block. When no further 512-Bit block is available, the algorithm leaves the main loop and calculates the final 128-Bit hash output by concatenating the four 32-Bit variables resulting from the last main loop run. The main loop consists of four rounds based on a certain nonlinear function (see "Applied Cryptography", Bruce Schneier, ISBN 0-471-59756-2).
This class extends the java.security.MessageDigest class and
applications should use one of the getInstance methods presented
there to create a MessageDigest-MD5 object. Generally, an application wishing
to compute the message digest of some data has to perform three steps:
getInstance method, e.g.:
MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5", "IAIK");
update methods,
e.g:
md5.update(m1);
md5.update(m2);
...
digest methods: byte[] hash_value = md5.digest();
There are several ways for combining update and
digest methods for computing a message digest. Since this class
implements the Cloneable interface, MD5 MessageDigest objects
may be used for compute intermediate hashes through cloning (see
http
://java.sun.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html).
When the hash value successfully has been computed, the MD5 MessageDigest object automatically resets for being able to be supplied with new data to be hashed.
The MD5 algorithm may be combined with a public-key algorithm (e.g. RSA) to be used as digital signature algorithm (see iaik.security.rsa.Md5RSASignature).

message digest object for being supplied with new data for starting a new hash
computation.
