About Hash Functions

Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert data of any size into a fixed-size output, typically a string of characters. They are designed to be one-way functions, meaning it's practically impossible to reverse the process and generate the original input from the hash.

Common uses of hash functions include:

  • Password storage (with proper salting)
  • Data integrity verification
  • Digital signatures
  • File checksums
  • Blockchain technology

Available Hash Algorithms:

  • MD5: Fast but cryptographically broken. Not recommended for security purposes.
  • SHA-1: Deprecated for security applications due to vulnerabilities.
  • SHA-256: Part of the SHA-2 family, widely used and considered secure.
  • SHA-512: Provides a larger digest size than SHA-256 for higher security.
  • SHA3-256: Part of the newer SHA-3 family, designed to be different from SHA-2.
  • SHA3-512: The 512-bit variant of SHA-3, providing a larger digest size.
