MD5 Algorithm SHA-1 Algorithm

It is first published in the year 1992. It is first published in the year 1995.

MD5 is uses to create a message digest for SHA-1 is used to create digital
digital signatures.It creates a fixed 128-bit signatures.It produces a 160-bit message
output that,when summed, total 32 characters digest that is considered to be more
long secure than MD5.

MD5 is less stronger hash algorithm as it SHA -1 is considered a stronger hash


outputs a 128-bit message digest. algorithm as it outputs a 160-bit message
digest.

MD5 requires less processing power as SHA-1 requires more processing power
compared with SHA-1 as compared with MD5.

It is less secure It is more secure

It's output performance is 335 MiB/s It's output performance is 192 MiB/s
