Database integrity and security are vital measures in database development. Database designers in this respect have a number of approaches to secure data during database design and development. Some of the approaches include the use of the HASH functions such as the MD5 to encrypt database passwords. But with this comes technological challenges of attacks and vulnerability. Current new technologies such as the use of the has killers and descriptor’s. This paper brings to light the challenges faced in using MD5 by database designers a give alternatives to secure data during database design.
