DESCRIPTION

The following functions are used to produce an hash from data:

CC_MD2_Init() initializes a CC_MD2_CTX structure.

CC_MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).

CC_MD2_Final() places the MD2 message digest in md, which must have space for CC_MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the CC_MD2_CTX.

CC_MD2() computes the MD2 message digest of the len bytes at data and places it in md (which must have space for CC_MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). It returns the md pointer.

CC_MD4_Init(), CC_MD4_Update(), CC_MD4_Final(), CC_MD4(), CC_MD5_Init(), CC_MD5_Update(), CC_MD5_Final(), and CC_MD5() are analogous using an CC_MD4_CTX and CC_MD5_CTX structure.

NOTE

MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing applications. In new applications, SHA-256(or greater) should be preferred.

RETURN VALUES

All routines return 1 upon success and NULL upon failure, except for the one-shot routines ( CC_MD2() , etc.), which return the pointer passed in via the md parameter.

HISTORY

These functions are available in OS X 10.4 and later.

These functions provide similar functionality to the routines found in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and may use the same implementation.
