MDC-2

In cryptography, MDC-2 (Modification Detection Code 2, sometimes called Meyer–Schilling,[citation needed] standardized in ISO 10118-2) is a cryptographic hash function. MDC-2 is a hash function based on a block cipher with a proof of security in the ideal-cipher model.[1] The length of the output hash depends on the underlying block cipher used.
