MD5 - Cryptographic Library for Lua
Copyright 2003 PUC-Rio
http://www.keplerproject.org/md5

MD5 offers basic cryptographic facilities for Lua 5.1: a hash (digest)
function, a pair crypt/decrypt based on MD5 and CFB, and a pair crypt/decrypt based
on DES with 56-bit keys.

MD5 current version is 1.1.2.

To install on Linux/OSX/BSD, please edit the config file and then call

make
make install

The last step may require root privileges.

If you are using LuaRocks you can also install MD5 with:

luarocks install md5
