MD4 (Message Digest 4)

The MD4 Algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given pre-specified target message digest. MD4 is aimed at 32-bit machines and intended for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private key under a Public-Key Cryptography system such as RSA.
It has been shown how collisions for the full version of MD4 can be found in under a minute on a typical PC. Therefore, MD4 should now be considered broken.
