    Applying MD4 digest to a specific set of bytes should always produce the same results since it is basically computing a checksum. The algorithm for md4 digest calculation is pubicly available, and compliant implementations will always generate the same results when operating on the same data set. Any changes in the data at all will result in a different digest result.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
