About MD5

MD5 produces a 128-bit hash. It is now considered cryptographically broken for security use.

Still safe for

  • File integrity checksums
  • Cache keys
  • Non-cryptographic fingerprinting

Do not use for

  • Password storage
  • Digital signatures
  • Any security-sensitive hashing

For security-sensitive hashing, use SHA-256.
