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.) Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local password = "myPassword"

local crypt = chilkat.Crypt2.new()
crypt.hash_algorithm = "md5"
crypt.encoding_mode = "hex"
local md5Hex = crypt:hash_string_enc(password)
print("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..
