MD5: Message Digest Algorithm

  • Description

    This core is the fully compliant implementation of the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, as described in rfc1321. It produces an output of 128 bit message digest (hash value) for the input messages of arbitrary length.

    The MD5 core processes an input in successive 512 bit blocks. It produces a 128 bit message digest. The input must be a serial input and could be of arbitrary number of bits.

  • Features of Implemented Core

    • Automatic message length calculation and padding
    • On chip Block RAM used
  • Clock cycles required for the last message block
