		An MD4 hash is a unique value given as a result of a mathematical expression following the MD4 algorithm which claims to ensure data integrity.
		MD4 was developed by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT and accepted by the RSA on October 1990 and then redesigned on April 1992.
		Both MD4 and its successor MD5 (which is an extension of MD4) are optimized for 32-bit machines, while its predecessor MD2 was optimized for 8-bit machines.

	MD4 - a Whatis.com definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		MD4 is an earlier version of MD5, an algorithm used to verify data integrity through the creation of a 128-bit message digest from data input (which may be a message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to that specific data as a fingerprint is to the specific individual.
		MD4, which was developed by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT, is intended for use with digital signature applications, which require that large files must be compressed by a secure method before being encrypted with a secret key, under a public key cryptosystem.
		MD2, an earlier 8-bit version, MD4, and MD5, the latest version, have similar structures, but MD2 was optimized for 8-bit machines, in comparison with the two later formulas, which are optimized for 32-bit machines.

	MD4, Message-Digest Algorithm. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest.
		The MD4 algorithm is intended for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem such as RSA.
		In addition, the MD4 algorithm does not require any large substitution tables; the algorithm can be coded quite compactly.

	MD4 Description
		The MD4 records digitally to an MD Data disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, delivering flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20kHZ with inaudible 0.01% total harmonic distortion (at 1kHz), at a signal-to-noice ratio of 85dB providing sound quality on par with compact discs.
		The MD4 offers the unique ability to play back all four tracks and mix them down to one or more tracks - an operation that until now could only be performed on multitrack recorders with five or more tracks.
		All MD4 operating modes, signal levels, disk and song titles, marker and other important indicators including total, remaining and elapsed time, are displayed in a large, two-color flourescent display panel which gives you quick at-a-glance confirmation of current operating status.

		He showed in it that a reduced version of MD4 is not one-way, meaning that for any 128bits digest you can create a file producing it.
		I didn't find someone that during the last 6 years proved that the full MD4 algorithm was one-way, but cryptanalysis experts recommend avoiding the use of MD4 or even MD5.
		But still, a different chunk than the original one with the same MD4 hash could be diffused and corrupt the whole file.

		While the structures of these algorithms are somewhat similar, the design of MD2 is quite different from that of MD4 and MD5 and MD2 was optimized for 8-bit machines, whereas MD4 and MD5 were aimed at 32-bit machines.
		It is basically MD4 with "safety-belts" and while it is slightly slower than MD4, it is more secure.

		MD4 algorithm is defined as an iterative application of a three-round compression function.
