I am basically creating an API in php, and one of the parameters that it will accept is an md5 encrypted value. I don’t have much knowledge of different programming languages and also about the MD5. So my basic question is, if I am accepting md5 encrypted values, will the value remain same, generated from any programing language like .NET, Java, Perl, Ruby… etc.
Or there would be some limitation or validations for it.
Yes, correct implementation of md5 will produce the same result, otherwise md5 would not be useful as a checksum. The difference may come up with encoding and byte order. You must be sure that text is encoded to exactly the same sequence of bytes.
