MD5
Message Digest 5. A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash. Both MD5 and Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA) are variations on MD4 and strengthen the security of the MD4 hashing
algorithm. Cisco uses hashes for authentication within the IPSec framework. Also used for message
authentication in SNMP v.2. MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication, authenticates the origin,
and checks for timeliness.

(proprietary) branches.

are IPS modules.
monitoring
