Detailed Description

A class that calculates an md5 digest from one or more 64-byte blocks of data using the algorithm described by RFC 1321.

Digests are made up of four integers which can be formatted into more usable forms using the md5::format class.

A digest can be calculated in one go from an arbitrarily-sized block of data, or incrementally from a series of 64-byte blocks. The 64-byte blocks must be passed as md5::block objects.

In practice the requirement for 64-byte blocks of input data may be inconvenient, so the md5::digest_stream class is provided to allow calculation of digests from a stream of arbitrarily-sized data blocks.

std::string hash( const std::string & in )
{
    md5::digest d( in ) ;
    return md5::format::rfc( d ) ;
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

md5::digest::digest

(

)

Default constructor.

The message to be digested should be add()ed in 64-byte blocks.

Definition at line 35 of file md5.cpp.

md5::digest::digest ( const string_type &  s )

explicit

Constuctor.

Calculates a digest for the given message string. Do not use add() with this constructor.

Definition at line 62 of file md5.cpp.

md5::digest::digest ( state_type  d_in )

explicit

Constructor taking the result of an earlier call to state().

This allows calculation of a digest from a stream of 64-byte blocks to be suspended mid-stream and then resumed using a new digest object.

Definition at line 40 of file md5.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

md5::digest::state_type md5::digest::state

(

)

const

Returns the internal state.

Typically passed to the md5::format class.
