What is MD5

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Securing Cloud-Based Databases with Biometric Applications
Designed in 1992 as an improvement of MD4 the MD5 is one of the most widely used cryptographic hash functions nowadays. The best known result so far was a semi free-start collision, in which the initial value of the hash function is replaced by a non-standard value, which is the result of the attack.

Abstract
To get the desired benefits for the IT enterprise, NoSQL databases must be combined with proven and reliable SQL features into a single proven infrastructure meeting the manageability and security requirements of cloud computing. Various specifications, including SAML (Security Assertions Markup Language), improved interoperability across organizational boundaries are coming up. This chapter discuses some of the security issues of NoSQL databases. All the related technology used in the chapter are explained either where they appear or at the end of the chapter.
