Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert input data into fixed-size strings. They're widely used in cryptography, data integrity verification, and digital signatures.
Algorithm Comparison:
MD5
128-bit, fast but vulnerable
SHA-1
160-bit, deprecated for security
SHA-256
256-bit, secure and recommended
SHA-512
512-bit, strongest available
Common Use Cases:
- • File integrity verification
- • Password storage (with salt)
- • Digital signatures and certificates
- • Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- • Data deduplication
Security Note:
MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or higher for secure applications.
