What are Hash Functions?

Hash functions take input data of any size and produce a fixed-size string of bytes, typically a digest that looks random. The same input will always generate the same hash value, but even a small change to the input will produce a completely different hash.

Common Uses

  • File integrity verification
  • Password storage (with proper salting)
  • Digital signatures
  • Data deduplication
  • Checksums for downloads

Security Notes

Not all hash functions are suitable for security purposes. MD5 and SHA-1 are now considered cryptographically broken. For security-critical applications, use SHA-256 or newer algorithms.
