The purpose of this task to code and validate an implementation of the MD5 Message Digest Algorithm by coding the algorithm directly (not using a call to a built-in or external hashing library). For details of the algorithm refer to [[wp:Md5#Algorithm|MD5 on Wikipedia]] or the [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt MD5 definition in IETF RFC (1321)].
