## Description

This is a cross-platform JavaScript library and cryptographic hash tool used for generating 128-bit MD5 message digests and fingerprints from strings or binary data. It provides a consistent implementation for computing hash values and hexadecimal-encoded digests to facilitate data validation.

The library includes an implementation of HMAC-MD5, allowing for the creation of keyed-hash message authentication codes to verify both the authenticity and integrity of a message using a secret key.

These capabilities support data integrity verification and message authentication across both client-side web browsers and server-side Node.js environments.
