.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm md5 , sha1 , sha256
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm rmd160
|
|
utilities take as input a message of arbitrary length and produce as
|
|
output a
|
|
.Dq fingerprint
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq message digest
|
|
of the input.
|
|
It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to
|
|
produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any
|
|
message having a given prespecified target message digest.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn MD5 , SHA-1 , SHA-256
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn RIPEMD-160
|
|
algorithms are intended for digital signature applications, where a
|
|
large file must be
|
|
.Dq compressed
|
|
in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private
|
|
(secret)
|
|
key under a public-key cryptosystem such as
|
|
.Tn RSA .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn MD5
|
|
has been completely broken as far as finding collisions is
|
|
concerned, and should not be relied upon to produce unique outputs.
|
|
This also means that
|
|
.Tn MD5
|
|
should not be used as part of a cryptographic signature scheme.
|
|
At the current time (2009-01-06) there is no publicly known method to
|
|
.Dq reverse
|
|
MD5, i.e., to find an input given a hash value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn SHA-1
|
|
currently (2009-01-06) has no known collisions, but an attack has been
|
|
found which is faster than a brute-force search, placing the security of
|
|
.Tn SHA-1
|
|
in doubt.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is recommended that all new applications use
|
|
.Tn SHA-256
|
|
instead of one of the other hash functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options may be used in any combination and must
|
|
precede any files named on the command line.
|
|
The hexadecimal checksum of each file listed on the command line is printed
|
|
after the options are processed.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c Ar string
|
|
Compare files to this md5 string.
|
|
(Note that this option is not yet useful if multiple files are specified.)
|
|
.It Fl s Ar string
|
|
Print a checksum of the given
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Echo stdin to stdout and append the checksum to stdout.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Quiet mode - only the checksum is printed out.
|
|
Overrides the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Reverses the format of the output.
|
|
This helps with visual diffs.
|
|
Does nothing
|
|
when combined with the
|
|
.Fl ptx
|
|
options.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Run a built-in time trial.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Run a built-in test script.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm md5 , sha1 , sha256
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm rmd160
|
|
utilities exit 0 on success,
|
|
1 if at least one of the input files could not be read,
|
|
and 2 if at least one file does not have the same hash as the -c option.
