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.) PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$password = "myPassword"

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2
$crypt.HashAlgorithm = "md5"
$crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"
$md5Hex = $crypt.HashStringENC($password)
$("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.
