md5

Hardware implementation of the md5 hash function.

Status

Completed. Does Work. Do. Not. Use. (Unless you know what you do.)

Introduction

The hash function md5 is a broken hash function that shouldn't be used. But sometimes one needs the implementation of a broken hash function anyway...

Do use this to for example break things like password hashes. Do NOT use it to protect anything - password hashes for example.

Implementation

The core is implemented in Verilog.
