Cryptographic MD5 Hashing of a Directory Using LabVIEW

[JamesKent]

Overview
This is a simple demonstration using the MD5 hashing functionality to hash files under a directory.

Description
This VI makes usage of the MD5 hashing functionality built into LabVIEW to cryptographically hash and digest a whole directory of files. A folder is selected and from that we get all filenames within the directory and feed these one by one into the MD5 hashing function to allow us to get a full read out of all MD5 hashes of files with an extension (i.e. not folders) in that directory.

 
Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open " Cryptographic MD5 Hashing of a Directory 2012 NIVerified.vi"
2. Run the program
3. Select the directory to be encrypted
