I need to hash a password before it is transmitted over the internet.. I understand that hashing is irreversible.. And I don't want it to be reversed..
AS I understand it, MD5 hashing is a standard.. IE if you MD5 hash a string in visual basic, you get the same result as if you did it in ASP or PHP or Cold Fusion and that's exactly what I want.. My passwords are hashed by a scripting language and I want to keep it that way but I want to write a companion program to my site.
