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.) Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Crypt2;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String password = "myPassword";

        Crypt2 crypt = new Crypt2();
        crypt.setHashAlgorithm("md5");
        crypt.setEncodingMode("hex");
        String md5Hex = crypt.hashStringENC(password);
        System.out.println("MD5 hash (as a hex string) = " + md5Hex);

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