column type for byte array (md5 algorithm)

304 Contributor
hi,
I would like to know as to what the column type should be, in case i want to store some text in the encrypted format. i m using md5 alogrithm available in .net.

I tried using binary, but it didnt work...some strange characters were inserted into the table when i used it.
thanks,
gomzi.

I'm curious how these two functions work together (when crypt() uses a md5 algo). Currently I know they will produce different output; is this due to the salt being used behind-the-scenes in md5()? Is there a way to allow crypt() and md5() to produce identical output or am I misunderstanding the purpose of both the functions. Thanks

To get a correct result I use transformation of byte to string and

I wrote the following to do an MD5 hash. However, I have a problem (I think) with the conversion from the Byte MD5 hash back to string. Watching this through the debugger it appears as if the MD5 is computing the right Byte for the hash when compared to other MD5 hash generators online. However, when I attempt to convert it back to tring using the line String outputData = textConverter.GetString( result ) ; I essentially get...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
