What is MD5?
MD5 is a 128-bit hash function. It's fast but cryptographically broken.
When to use
- Legacy systems and APIs
- Non-security checksums (e.g., cache keys)
- File integrity where collision resistance isn't critical
Security warning
Do not use MD5 for passwords or security-sensitive hashing. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt instead.
