# MD5 [![Package][package-img]][package-url] [![Documentation][documentation-img]][documentation-url] [![Build][build-img]][build-url]

The package provides the [MD5] hash function.

## Example

```rust

let digest = md5::compute(b"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");

assert_eq!(format!("{:x}", digest), "c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b");

```

## Security Warning

The package is provided for the purposes of interoperability with protocols and

systems that mandate the use of MD5. However, MD5 should be considered

[cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use][VU836068]. Collision

attacks against MD5 are both practical and trivial, and [theoretical attacks

against MD5 have been found][ACM1724151].

[RFC6151] advises no new protocols to be designed with any MD5-based

constructions, including HMAC-MD5.
