MD5 In a Web-Based Population Data Management Application to Improve Account Security

This research focused on designing and implementing a
population data management information system by applying
the MD5 algorithm as account security. The population data
management information system itself is an information system
to make it easier to manage population data to find out and
make reports on the number of village residents, as well as
make it easier to make certificates. The research case study
was carried out at the Jatisari village office, there were several
obstacles in the ongoing population data management process
in Jatisari village, namely that the management of population
data was still in the form of physical files which were vulnerable
to damage and loss, and this way of management created the
problem of difficulty in finding population information. In
addition, information systems are vulnerable to hacking, so a
process is needed to verify who can obtain population data or
information. Therefore, the aim of this research was to create a
population data management application (SIDAKEP) that can
simplify the process of managing population data, by
implementing the Message-Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm as account
security to protect the system from irresponsible parties. By
using a qualitative method approach and the SDLC Waterfall
development model in application design. The results of this
research were the population data management application can
help the Jatisari village office government, especially the Head
of the Government Section, make population data management
easier, more effective and efficient.
