MD5 Hash a String (such as a password string)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to MD5 hash a string to get MD5 hash in hex encoded string representation. (The MD5 hash is 16 bytes, and therefore a hex encoded MD5 hash would be 32 chars.) C

#include <C_CkCrypt2.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    const char *password;
    HCkCrypt2 crypt;
    const char *md5Hex;

    password = "myPassword";

    crypt = CkCrypt2_Create();
    CkCrypt2_putHashAlgorithm(crypt,"md5");
    CkCrypt2_putEncodingMode(crypt,"hex");
    md5Hex = CkCrypt2_hashStringENC(crypt,password);
    printf("MD5 hash (as a hex string) = %s\n",md5Hex);

    // The hex string will be uppercase.  Your application
    // can easily convert it to lowercase if desired via non-Chilkat means.


    CkCrypt2_Dispose(crypt);
