To expand a bit on what I had said earlier, ASL has an MD5 implementation:

http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1md5__t.html

as well as SHA-1, -224, -256, -384, and -512 implementations:

http://opensource.adobe.com/group__adobe__sha.html

The MD5 implementation is based on the RSA version of MD5. All our
license information can be found here:

Another piece of technology we wrote for this arena is a ZUID, which
is a UUID-like structure that contains no personal information in it
(like a MAC or IP address). Details on the ZUID and how (and why) it
differs from a UUID can be found at:

http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1zuid__t.html

We have no issues with any of our work being included in Boost.
