If you still have databases out there that are using MD5 encryption, give your head a shake. It is so easy to crack it is nothing less than a joke. Some older versions of MySQL use to allow MD5 encrypted fields...worthless. How is it is to crack an MD5 encryption scheme? Try the following encrypted value: 569a70c2ccd0ac41c9d1637afe8cd932 and go to site: http://www.md5hacker.com/ The current encryption standards are: PBKDF2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2 Or a relatively old but good method: BCRYPT http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/ Or the latest boy on the block: SCRYPT http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html Jim
