Does anyone have anything concrete about the MD5 algorithm? I'd be happy
to write up a C function to calculate the MD5 hash of an arbitrary
amount of data given that information.
There are enough implementations of MD5 floating around, so we do not
need another implementation. Besides, look at the current code for MD5
in DBMail, or any other code for it, and then decide if you still want
to code this :)
Using gnutls is also an option. I believe it also supports MD5. I don't
know if it's widely supported though. It is present in debian stable
(which is what we use here), and it's also in OpenBSD ports. I've never
used GNUTLS, but I guess programming it will be as easy as programming
for OpenSSL. I'll have a try later on :) .
