In general, you don't need to do this because the IP software that generates your connection protocol includes this based on entry of a password or other credentials. So if you really DO need to do this, you are obviously "rolling your own protocol" in some way that isn't a normal connection or that has some special requirements.
You need to work with the "Crypto API" and here is a link:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms867086.aspx
Here is some sample code you can look at in VBA.

Since I always allowed my protocol stack to do the API calls, I have not used this. But at least I am familiar enough with it to offer some references that might help.

Thanks The_Doc-man
Actually I need this:
xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>" & vbNewLine _
& "<request>" & vbNewLine _
& "<public_key>" & broj & "</public_key>" & vbNewLine _
& "<auth_token>" & "MD5(username.pasword)" & "</auth_token>" & vbNewLine _
& "<invoice_number>208155</invoice_number>" & vbNewLine _
& "<invoice_date>2014-04-01</invoice_date>" & vbNewLine _
& "</request>" & vbNewLine
see the line "MD5(username.password)" ..

I will outside generate MD5 and then insert generated code into XML line

OK, you are using a method that compares hashed passwords rather than literal passwords. It makes sense, but be aware that if someone is tapping your transmission and you are not using HTTPS or TLS or SFTP or some other secured / encrypted method, your password hash is no more secure than sending the literal password. OK, I know it is a requirement for your situation, just commenting.
The Crypto API can generate an MD5 hash. The second reference I listed shows you some VBA code on how to do that.

Thank you Certified Grand Pa..Enjoy...
