[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)] public sealed class MD5CryptoServiceProvider : MD5

Remarks

In Mono this class is completely implemented in managed code.

WARNING: Collisions are recently been found in MD5. Therefore you should consider using another hash algorithm for new design and evaluate migration for current designs. Note that this may or may not affect you depending on your usage (e.g. MD5 based HMAC are still safe).
