You can use MD5 as MD4 is now considered to be broken :-)
Err EncDigestMD5(BytePtr strP, Word strLen, Byte digestP[16]);
strP is your data pointer (password), strLen is the length of data in strP
and digestP is the 128 bit digest returned to you for the data in strP. Make
sure to check the error returned by the API ;-)
