Hash Generator (MD5/SHA)
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes
About Hash Functions
A hash function takes input data and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hexadecimal number. Hash functions are commonly used for data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures.
Algorithm Details
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash, widely used and secure
- SHA-512: 512-bit hash, more secure but larger output
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash, deprecated for security reasons
- MD5: 128-bit hash, not secure, use for non-cryptographic purposes only
