If they are consistent, the user of the mobile phone 1 is prompted to install the software A; on the contrary, if not, the user is warned that the received higher version of the software A has been modified. The MD5 code is widely used in encryption and decryption technology, and it can be said to be a "digital fingerprint" of a document. Any document, whether it is an executable, image file, temporary file or any other type of document, no matter how large it is, has only one unique MD5 information value, and if this document has been modified, its MD5 The value will also change. Therefore, we can verify that the document has been "tampered" by comparing the MD5 values of the same document.
