The CryptoAPI algorithm name for the MD4 hash algorithm. Other hashing algorithms include MD2, MD5, and SHA. See MD4 algorithm.
A cryptographic hash function that is known to be broken and should not be used under any circumstances.
A one-way hash function that produces a 128-bit hash, or message digest. If as little as a single bit value in the file is modified, the MD4 checksum for the file will change. Forgery of a file in a way that will cause MD4 to generate the same result as that for the original file is considered extremely difficult.
Message Digest 4. A one-way hash function designed by Ron Rivest.
A hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash value.
(Message Digest 4) A 128-bit, one-way hash function that uses a simple set of bit manipulations on 32-bit operands, developed as a weaker but faster alternative to MD2. See also message digest.
A hash algorithm that creates a 128-bit hash value and was developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. See also: hash algorithm
MD4 is a message digest algorithm (the fourth in a series) designed by Professor Ronald Rivest of MIT in 1990. It implements a cryptographic hash function for use in message integrity checks. The digest length is 128 bits.
