About Cryptographic Hash Functions
A hash function converts arbitrary data into a fixed-length string (one-way). The same input always produces the same hash, but it is computationally infeasible to reverse the hash back to the original data.
Common uses:
• File integrity verification
• Digital signatures
• Data deduplication
• Password storage (use bcrypt/argon2 in practice)
Hash Algorithm Comparison
| Algorithm | Output | Security | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD5 | 128-bit | Broken | Checksums only (not security) |
| SHA-1 | 160-bit | Weak | Legacy systems (deprecated) |
| SHA-256 | 256-bit | Strong | Digital signatures, Bitcoin, TLS |
| SHA-384 | 384-bit | Strong | TLS certificates, high-security |
| SHA-512 | 512-bit | Strong | High-security applications |
