This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
Abstract
This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.

Practical Byzantine fault tolerance

TL;DR: A new replication algorithm that is able to tolerate Byzantine faults that works in asynchronous environments like the Internet and incorporates several important optimizations that improve the response time of previous algorithms by more than an order of magnitude.

SPINS: security protocols for sensor networks

TL;DR: A suite of security building blocks optimized for resource-constrained environments and wireless communication, and shows that they are practical even on minimal hardware: the performance of the protocol suite easily matches the data rate of the network.

SPINS: security protocols for sensor networks

TL;DR: A suite of security protocols optimized for sensor networks: SPINS, which includes SNEP and μTESLA and shows that they are practical even on minimal hardware: the performance of the protocol suite easily matches the data rate of the network.

HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication

TL;DR: This document describes HMAC, a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions that can be used with any iterative cryptographic hash function, e.g., MD5, SHA-1, in combination with a secret shared key.

Practical byzantine fault tolerance and proactive recovery

TL;DR: A new replication algorithm, BFT, is described that can be used to build highly available systems that tolerate Byzantine faults and is used to implement the first Byzantine-fault-tolerant NFS file system, BFS.
