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.) C++

#include <CkCrypt2.h>

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

    CkCrypt2 crypt;
    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("md5");
    crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex");
    const char *md5Hex = crypt.hashStringENC(password);
    std::cout << "MD5 hash (as a hex string) = " << md5Hex << "\r\n";

    // The hex string will be uppercase.  Your application
    // can easily convert it to lowercase if desired via non-Chilkat means.
    }
