Method Detail

createMD5Digest

public static String createMD5Digest(String base)

Computes an MD5 hash for a string. The fingerprint is the digester hash of the string. It is always 32 characters long and only uses characters from [0-9A-F].

createMD5Digest

public static String createMD5Digest(Collection<String> bases)

Computes an MD5 hash for a collection of strings. The strings are sorted before MD5 computation, so that the resulting MD5 hash is independent of the order of the strings in the collection.

getMD5

public static MessageDigest getMD5()

Returns Digester digester or throws an AssertionError if the Digester could not be located.
