computing md5 hash

[Abubakar]

Hi,
Working in pure vc++ 2k5 (complete unmanaged), I want to compute md5 hash of
a given file. Any standard windows api available? Any links?

Thanks,

Ab.

look on www.sourceforge.com . there are numerous pure C++ cryptography
projects that have libraries for almost every hash function that is in use.

kind regards,
Bruno.

You can compute MD5 hashes using the Crypto API. It's usually easier to use
a 3rd party library though. One such is Crypto++ which you'll find at
http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/cryptlib.html

-cd

Or openssl

There are functions called MD5Final, MD5Init and MD5Update in advapi32.dll.
The same functions are also in cryptdll.dll (the cryptdll.dll functions are
documented on MSDN but the advapi32.dll functions should be identical)
