Image:Iv_540.gif Hash Step
Generates an MD5 hash of a given string.

The hashing method used is the "RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm", and is provided under license. If you are using TeleFlow to create an application for resale, you are required to abide by the same terms. See "NOTES" below. The MD5 hash value is not reversible. You can create an MD5 hash, and use that hash to compare against another MD5 hash to determine if the two original values are the same, but you cannot use the MD5 hash to determine what the original value was. For this reason, the most common use for MD5 hashing is to store sensitive information, such as passwords.
