RFC 1319: The MD2 Message-Digest Algorithm

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6149.

Current version: RFC 6149 — MD2 to Historic Status

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the MD2 message-digest algorithm. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.
