MD5 Hashing Algorithm

Software

MD5 hashing implementation

Author

Written by Colin Plumb in 1993 based on MD5 algorithm by Ron Rivest, no copyright is claimed.

Location

pjlib-util/md5.c

Description

MD5 hashing for digest authentication.

License

This software is put in public domain, and can be used for any purpose with no warranty:

    This code implements the MD5 message-digest algorithm.
    The algorithm is due to Ron Rivest.  This code was
    written by Colin Plumb in 1993, no copyright is claimed.
    This code is in the public domain; do with it what you wish.

    Equivalent code is available from RSA Data Security, Inc.
    This code has been tested against that, and is equivalent,
    except that you don't need to include two pages of legalese
    with every copy.

    To compute the message digest of a chunk of bytes, declare an
    MD5Context structure, pass it to MD5Init, call MD5Update as
    needed on buffers full of bytes, and then call MD5Final, which
    will fill a supplied 16-byte array with the digest.

Using the Software

This code is needed by SIP digest authentication procedure, and can not be disabled.

Resample

Software

High Quality Sample Rate Conversion

Location

third_party/resample/

Description

PJMEDIA uses resample-1.7.tar.gz from Digital Audio Resampling Home Page.

Some excerpts from the original source codes:

HISTORY

    The first version of this software was written by Julius O. Smith III
    <jos@ccrma.stanford.edu> at CCRMA <http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu> in
    1981.  It was called SRCONV and was written in SAIL for PDP-10
    compatible machines.  The algorithm was first published in

    Smith, Julius O. and Phil Gossett. ``A Flexible Sampling-Rate
    Conversion Method,'' Proceedings (2): 19.4.1-19.4.4, IEEE Conference
    on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, San Diego, March 1984.

    An expanded tutorial based on this paper is available at the Digital
    Audio Resampling Home Page given above.

    Circa 1988, the SRCONV program was translated from SAIL to C by
    Christopher Lee Fraley working with Roger Dannenberg at CMU.

    Since then, the C version has been maintained by jos.

    Sndlib support was added 6/99 by John Gibson <jgg9c@virginia.edu>.

    The resample program is free software distributed in accordance
    with the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL).  There is NO warranty; not
    even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

License

This software is distibuted under opensource GNU LGPL terms.
