What is are some usages of fixed width integer types in c++?

I just discovered these fixed width integer types while experimenting. For example Int32 or Int64. In what situation would one want to use one or the other?

Precise sized integers are used in cryptographic functions. This is so the function can exactly follow a specification. Example: md5 checksum.
