Hi ,

Can anyone give me a comparison between MD5 and SHA. How do the
algorithms process data, whether it is in big endian format or little

THey are defined independnet of the endianness of the processor.
They process data very similarly.

endian format? It has been stated that the algorithm can process any
arbitary message of size less than 2^64. What if the message is more
than 2^64? What do we do in that case?

Write shorter messages. 2^64=10^20 which is more than the space on all the disks in
world today.
