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.) Ruby

require 'chilkat'

password = "myPassword"

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("md5")
crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex")
md5Hex = crypt.hashStringENC(password)
print "MD5 hash (as a hex string) = " + md5Hex + "\n";

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