From: Alwyn Jennings-Bramly on 25 Jan 2006 08:23 Hi all, I have seen lots of freeware utilities for creating a "Hash" value for files using the MD5 standard. But I only want to do this for a (shortish) string. This is for use in a CGI app, so no GUI allowed. Any ideas? Alwyn

(MD5 is normally a signature/hash rather than encryption from the subject)
From: Meinhard Schnoor-Matriciani on 25 Jan 2006 09:16 Hi Alwyn, you propably might want to take a look to : http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/md5src.html It's an to migrate implementation of the MD5 algorithm in JavaScript.

Hi, we use the freely available AAMD532.DLL. Once you have the VO prototypes up and running you can use this to generate MD5 hash values from files or strings of any length. Been using this for a few years and not one problem with it.
