Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Message-Digest Algorithm mentioned in the question is commonly referred to as MD5, and is a widely used function for generating one-way hashes of strings. Therefore, the best choice is option D. The other options mentioned, strhash() and str-ireplace(), do not utilize the same encryption algorithm and are not commonly used for generating one-way hashes. Option C, mda(), is not a valid PHP function.
