About MD2 Hashing

MD2 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a hashing algorithm developed by Ronald Rivest in 1991. It produces a fixed-length 128-bit hash represented by 32 hexadecimal characters regardless of the size of the original input.

How It Works

Hash functions transform data into a unique fingerprint. Even a tiny change in the original text creates a completely different MD2 hash. Unlike encoding, hashing cannot be reversed back into the original data.

Common Use Cases

Legacy checksum and integrity verification.
Historic cryptographic applications and software.
Compatibility testing with older systems.
Educational demonstrations of hash functions.
Verification of archived data formats.
Research and analysis of legacy security algorithms.

Privacy & Security

All hashing is performed locally in your browser.
No text is transmitted to any server.
MD2 is considered obsolete and cryptographically insecure.
Security vulnerabilities and collision attacks make MD2 unsuitable for modern security applications.
Use SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 for modern cryptographic requirements.
