Re: Question about MD5



Thank you.

Regarding MD5 vs. SHA-1:
I am using an algorithm for encryption which builds the key with various
algorithms one of which is MD5.  This combination of algorithms includes
MD5, SHA-1, and blowfish, among others.  I did not specify the combination
of these algorithms.  I am just needing to decrypt data that conforms to
these specifications.

Thank you for your help,

Chas.
