MD5 is an encryption algorithm and is be used in many applications. It also have some types, for example, 16-bit,32-bit or 128-bit, In java, if you want to use 32-bit md5 to encrypt string, you can do like this:
Step 1: Create a 32-bit MD5 class in java
In java, a sample source code of 32-bit MD5 class is :
import java.security.MessageDigest;
public class MD5 {
public static String encryptStr(String s){
char hexChars[] = { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'};
try {
byte[] bytes = s.getBytes();
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(bytes);
bytes = md.digest();
int j = bytes.length;
char[] chars = new char[j * 2];
int k = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
byte b = bytes[i];
chars[k++] = hexChars[b >>> 4 & 0xf];
chars[k++] = hexChars[b & 0xf];
}
return new String(chars);
}
catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
}
