MD5 or message digest 5 is an encryption algorithm widely used for password comparisons. Basically MD5 is a hashing algorithm which takes a message of any length as input and produces a 128 bit or 32 hexadecimal digit digest as output. Even a very small variation in the inout string like one character can produce significant change in the output MD5 encrypted hash.
MD5 is a one way algorithm. That means a reverse algorithm of MD5 cannot decode the message digest back to its original message.

MD5 was designed in 1991 by Ron Rivest.

u cud b more detailed
Its a very complex encryption algorithm. The above detail is very short and do not provide complete information about it. Please provide some more detail.
