About Hash Functions
What are Hash Functions?
Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert input data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters. They are widely used for data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures.
Hash Types:
- MD5: 128-bit hash, fast but cryptographically broken. Use only for non-security purposes.
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash, deprecated for security applications but still used in some legacy systems.
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash, currently secure and widely recommended for cryptographic applications.
Common Use Cases:
- • File integrity verification
- • Password hashing (with salt)
- • Digital signatures and certificates
- • Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- • Data deduplication
