HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum Release Notes Announcement Announcement The HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum bundle consists of a secure checksum command (md5sum) and hashing libraries that provide a file integrity mechanism based on the standard Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm. The md5sum command generates 128-bit message digests and by default runs in multi-threaded mode, in which it processes the input files in parallel.
HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum Release Notes Overview Overview You can use the HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum to establish checksum values for files and use the checksum to verify file contents later. If you know the MD5 checksum value that was previously established for an executable binary file or other static file, you can use the HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum utility md5sum to periodically verify the integrity of the file.
HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum Release Notes Overview The md5sum command provides the -n option to hash input file arguments in parallel (refer to md5sum (1)), significantly increasing the overall command performance. This performance improvement is based on a patented architecture. • Scalability and adaptability The multithreading feature of md5sum scales with the number of CPUs and adapts to the host system.
