Message Digest 5 - one way hash of message.
From hyperdictionary.com
"A one-way function which takes a variable-length message and produces a fixed-length hash. Given the hash it is computationally infeasible to find a message with that hash; in fact one can't determine any usable information about a message with that hash, not even a single bit. For some one-way hash functions it's also computationally impossible to determine two messages which produce the same hash.
A one-way hash function can be private or public, just like an encryption function. MD5 and Snefru are examples of public one-way hash functions."
