💅 EVP_MD-MD5(7ossl) 💅

okay so this is a page from the OpenSSL manual, section 7ossl, and it's literally all about the MD5 EVP_MD implementation. bestie, it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "reference page that ate". let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_MD-MD5 — the MD5 EVP_MD implementation, no cap 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically: this is the support for computing MD5 digests through the EVP_MD API. that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

🔑 Identity 🔑

lowkey important detail here — this implementation is only available with the default provider, periodt. it's identified with the name "MD5" (exactly that, character for character, don't get cute with it) ✨

🧚 Gettable Parameters 🧚

this implementation supports the common gettable parameters, and those are described over in EVP_MD-common(7). that's where the deets live, iykyk 💅

ngl if you were hoping for a big long list of parameters right here, this is not that page — go read EVP_MD-common(7) like the icon you are 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

go read those next, they're the main characters of the supporting cast 👑
