Can anyone explain the Flickr API and how to set security? Why not use AES instead of md5?
Just trying to understand the Flickr API setup and how secure it is.

Why MD5 hash and not something like AES?

Hash is strictly a signature, so a one-way hash like MD5 is good enough to use them. If there is a collision (unlikely, but possible), they will simply intercept.
You don't need to make it more complicated than it should be.
