=item EVP_md5()
The MD5 algorithm which produces a 128-bit output from a given input.
=item EVP_md5_sha1()
A hash algorithm of SSL v3 that combines MD5 with SHA-1 as decirbed in RFC
6101.
WARNING: this algorithm is not intended for non-SSL usage.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
