All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public final class BrokenMD4

extends MD4

implements Cloneable

An implementation of Ron Rivest's MD4 message digest algorithm. MD4 was the precursor to the stronger MD5 algorithm, and while not considered cryptograpically secure itself, MD4 is in use in various applications. It is slightly faster than MD5.

This implementation is provided for compatibility with the "MD4" implementation in the C version of rsync -- which differs in that the input is NOT padded when the input is divisible by 64, and that only the lower 32 bits of the length is used in the padding (the real MD4 always pads the input and uses the entire 8 bytes in the padding).

DO NOT USE THIS IMPLEMENTATION IN NEW PROGRAMS.

Method Summary

Object	clone()
protected byte[]	engineDigest() Pack the four chaining variables into a byte array.
