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.) Unicode C++

#include <CkCrypt2W.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    const wchar_t *password = L"myPassword";

    CkCrypt2W crypt;
    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm(L"md5");
    crypt.put_EncodingMode(L"hex");
    const wchar_t *md5Hex = crypt.hashStringENC(password);
    wprintf(L"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.
    }
