MD5 hash generator, verify integrity of downloaded files

This is our implementation of the famous MD5 algorithm, and presents an easy and highly secure way of verifying the integrity of files. Single-line text, multi-line text and file contents are all supported inputs. The resulting MD5 hash is displayed in a textbox for easy clipboard copying. Software is often accompanied by an MD5 'hash' (or 'checksum'). This serves as a unique identifier for the contents of the file - if the file contents change then so does the MD5 hash, making it easy to verify the integrity of files. A brief description of MD5: The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128 bit (16 byte) "fingerprint" of the input (also known as a "message digest", "checksum" or "hash"). It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest. The MD5 algorithm was designed by Ron Rivest.
