MD5 Hash
The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.
The MD5 Hash algorithm allows encoding a string of any length into a 128-bit fingerprint. Encoding the same string with the MD5 algorithm will always result in the same 128-bit hash output.
The example of this data manipulation can be seen in the table below:
