MD2 generator
What MD2 is
Ron Rivest's MD2 (1989) targets 8-bit processors and still appears in ancient PKIX profiles—mostly as a museum piece. It is not a modern integrity choice; RFCs have deprecated it for certificates. Use this page when homework or retro protocols explicitly ask for MD2, then migrate specs forward.
Practical note
Library support is sparse; mismatched outputs usually mean your peer actually hashes something else. Pair verification with MD5 generator only for contrast—do not equate security levels.
Example
A legacy PKCS#7 sample lists an MD2 fingerprint; you reproduce it to prove your parser points at the same DER bytes.
Still safe?
No—assume weak. Replace the surrounding protocol when possible.
