About Hash Functions
A hash function converts data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters. Hash functions are commonly used for:
- - Password storage (with salt)
- - File integrity verification
- - Digital signatures
- - Checksums for downloads
- - Data deduplication
Algorithm Comparison
| Algorithm | Output Size | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MD5 | 128 bits (32 chars) | Weak - Avoid for security |
| SHA-1 | 160 bits (40 chars) | Deprecated |
| SHA-256 | 256 bits (64 chars) | Recommended |
| SHA-384 | 384 bits (96 chars) | Secure |
| SHA-512 | 512 bits (128 chars) | Most Secure |
