Description
As part of using both MD5 and SHA1 hashes in our project it seems that there is a difference in the Endianness between them: it seems that digest words for SHA1 are big-endian, while MD5 ones are little-endian.
Is that really the case? and if so, why? as we want to use the same code for both it caused it to fail constantly for SHA1
