.Sh DESCRIPTION
The MDX functions calculate a 128-bit cryptographic checksum (digest)
for any number of input bytes. A cryptographic checksum is a one-way
hash-function, that is, you cannot find (except by exhaustive search)
the input corresponding to a particular output. This net result is
a ``fingerprint'' of the input-data, which doesn't disclose the actual
input.

MD4 has been criticized for being too weak, so MD5 was developed in
response as ``MD4 with safety-belts''. When in doubt, use MD5.
