generate MD5 strings with Objective-C? - fernandovalente - Jan 26, 2010 10:23 AM
Sorry for posting on an old thread, but how may I generate MD5 strings with Objective-C? I really don't know how to do it. Also a sample code is appreciated.

There isn't an objective-C class in Cocoa as far as I know, but the Common Crypto API is pretty easy to use, and very fast.
Apple Man Page for Common Crypto
I used that in an app fairly recently and I'm happy with the results.

An MD5 hash is a number, so just format print a hex number.
Your MD5 library should already have some function for obtaining a string. Or you could try and format print from a 128-bit unsigned integer.

Code:
#include <openssl/md5.h>
...
unsigned char md[16];
MD5(data, n, &md);
...gives you the md5 hash as binary
