Does anyone have any suggestions for how to convert an NSString into a 16 bit int? I have checked Google and can only find ways of creating an MD5 hash that is much , much longer. I am looking for something similar to an MD5 hash I just need it to be 16 bits not 128. I am also hoping that I don;t have to become an expert in cryptography to do this.
Thanks,
Mike

I needed a pseudo-random number generated from a string and used libcrypto to do do this. See section 11 here:

This is all Tiger and XCode 2.4, so things are likely different with the current toolset.
