Calculate string hash (MD5, SHA1, etc)

I was wondering if a md5 hashing tool has been ported to the iPhone/iPod touch. Any hash would be fine. What does Installer.app use?

Even if it's built in to the (toolchain) sdk, I would like to know how.

OpenSSL has been removed from the iPhone SDK as of beta 7. You now must calculate MD5 with CommonCrypto. Here is an example: using CommonCrypto in an iPhone native app
