    Acronis TI is just one example when the vendor kindly provides MD5 number. But how can I recreate the number to check against what it should be?

    Is MD5 the same as hash number?
    Is it the same as SKIMP checksum?

    Yes, of course. I have it (Spybot product), and forgot it has MD5 thing. I've been using it for other things (hex, strings). Thank you much!

    MD5 is one particular hashing algorithm. Along with SHA (1/256/512) it is amongst the industry standards at this time for message digest and password encryption as well as being used in SSL.

    Is it the same as SKIMP checksum?[/QUOTE]
