It is one of a family of CryptographicHash [Algorithm]s, and produces a 128-bit digest (or "fingerprint") from arbitrarily long input data streams. It is based on MD2, but is faster. It is [nowadays considered weak | http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/06/more_md5_collis.html]. [Do not use it in applications where you might need to guard against malicious modification of your data | http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/03/more_hash_funct.html]. |
