You could use the hashlib module and encrypt your string into MD5 or SHA.
MD5 check sum is unique for a file content and is used to check the integrity of the file content. If file is to be transferred using network, recipient can calculate the MD5 hash and check it with the MD5 check sum of sender, if both are same, he can be sure of non-corruption of file in transit.
A WAV file is a type of audio file that is typically uncompressed. It stands for Waveform Audio File Format. MD5 is a checksum tool used to ensure the accuracy of the data file.

File? You can use 3rd party software sucha s TrueCrypt or Kakasoft Folder Protector to encrypt files.
It usually is a file that stores checksum or security information that verifies some object on your computer. It most likely is encrypted and you will not be able to use any of the information in the file. Here are some programs that open MD5 files:IsoBusterMD5summerSlavaSoft FSUMMD5 Checksum VerifierMD5 Checker
Md5sum is a program that verifies and calculates 128-bit MD5 hashes. The MD5 checksum is seen as the compact digital fingerprint that is unique to each file.
