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
