MD5Core Class

In This Topic

This is an implementation of MD5 that can be used in a FIPS environment. Not for real encryption.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public MustInherit NotInheritable Class MD5Core

public static class MD5Core

Remarks

This is included and used instead of the standard MD5 crypto provider because the MD5 is not part of the FIPS. When FIPS is enforced, any attempt to use the .NET Framework implementation will throw an exception. Sure, MD5 is not so secure but then does everything need 100% security? No. Meanwhile there's a ton of code that uses MD5 (including ComplyXL) that's not going to (cannot) be rewritten because of this issue.
