The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a cryptographically broken but still widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. It can be used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption. It remains suitable for other non-cryptographic purposes, for example for determining the partition for a particular key in a partitioned database, and may be preferred due to lower computational requirements than more recent Secure Hash Algorithms algorithms.
