Encode a string using an MD5 algorithm. The algorithm can be found on [[wp:Md5#Algorithm|wikipedia]].
Optionally, validate your implementation by running all of the test values in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt IETF RFC (1321) for MD5]. Additional the RFC provides more precise information on the algorithm than the Wikipedia article.
{{alertbox|lightgray|'''Warning:''' MD5 has <!-- link needed -->known weaknesses. Users may consider a stronger alternative when doing production-grade cryptography, such as SHA-256 (from the SHA-2 family) or the upcoming SHA-3.}}
If the solution on this page is a library solution, see [[MD5/Implementation]] for an implementation from scratch.
