[SOLVED] MD5 Decrypting for TCP/IP Stack

[lanndegeth]

Hello, I'm using TCP/IP Stack, PIC18F97J60 with C18 compiler. I'm only sending string to server and receive its answer as a string again. When I send a string to server, I encrypt it with MD5 as follows:

ex:
BYTE vData[4]={'1','2','3','4'};
HASH_SUM theSum;
BYTE MD5result[16];
MD5Initialize(&theSum);
MD5AddData(&theSum, &vData,4);
MD5Calculate(&theSum,&MD5result);

Sending is OK. But how can I decrypt the MD5 encrypted data received from server? The TCP/IP Stack has any function about MD5 decrypting data? Thank you all.

MD5 is basically a "one way" hash function and not intended to be reversed. It's cryptographic strength (which isn't actually mind-blowing) is based on the impossibility to reverse it. It's always used by comparing a received with an expected MD5 string.

MD5 it is used to check data integrity - you calculate the MD5 value and transmit it with the data. Recalculate it at the receiver and compare it with the received MD5.
Have a look the the Microchip TCP/IP stack help
