The task (and RC) policy requires code to be on this site. While a link to supplemental code offsite is fine, the code satisfying the task should be on this site. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 01:46, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
== Pseudo Code is not enough ==
Because hash functions are designed to thoroughly mix their inputs, even a small error will result in a completely different hash. A single bit change should result in half the bits of the digest changing. So if you encounter errors in your implementation you will likely need to break down constants, each step, sub-function, and round to find the error.
(from MD5 Talk) Just attempting to code this from the pseudo-code is likely to result in a number of errors. The reference code in the RFC is clearer. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 01:38, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
