@@@STARTPACK(md5;calculate a message-digest checksum for a file)
<P>
md5 takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces
as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest"
of the input. It is conjectured that it is computationally
infeasible to produce two messages having the same message
digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified
target message digest. The MD5 algorithm is intended
for digital signature applications, where a large file must
be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted
with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem
such as RSA.
