	MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify data integrity through the creation of a 128-bit message digest from data input (which may be a message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to that specific data as a fingerprint is to the specific individual. MD5, which was developed by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT, is intended for use with digital signature applications, which require that large files must be compressed by a secure method before being encrypted with a secret key, under a public key cryptosystem. MD5 is currently a standard, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 1321.

First of all, what is md5 ?

MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify data integrity through the creation of a 128-bit message digest from data input (which may be a message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to that specific data as a fingerprint is to the specific individual. MD5, which was developed by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT, is intended for use with digital signature applications, which require that large files must be compressed by a secure method before being encrypted with a secret key, under a public key cryptosystem. MD5 is currently a standard, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 1321.

Simple Usage, we use md5 to verify the correctness of something we have downloaded. You always provided with md5 fingerprint while downloading large file such as iso images for linux distro. It is just a line of 128 bit string.

Why I need to do the checking? Is it important?

To ensure the file you downloaded is not corrupted. Yes, it is important. If you try to burn the iso that is corrupted to CD, the CD may not work properly.

How to check?

Uses md5sum, the simple way is run the command line straight away. Let say you want to check the file ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.

md5sum ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

With this, it prints out the 128 bit fingerprint strings. Tally the string you obtained with the provided one. Provider do the same way to obtain this string and publish to the site.

Another way let say you have more files to verify, you can create a text file, such as md5sum.txt

4971edddbfc667e0effbc0f6b4f7e7e0 ubuntu-6.10-server-sparc.iso

First column is the md5 string and second column is the location of the file. To check all them from file, do this:

md5sum -c md5sum.txt

The output will be like this if success

...
ubuntu-6.10-desktop-amd64.iso: OK
ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso: OK
...
