About Hash Functions
A hash function is a mathematical function that converts an input of arbitrary length into a fixed-size string of characters. Hash functions are commonly used in:
- Data integrity verification
- Digital signatures
- Password storage
- File identification
- Blockchain technology
Each algorithm has different characteristics:
- MD5: 128-bit hash, widely used but considered cryptographically broken
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash, widely used but no longer recommended for security
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash, part of the SHA-2 family, widely used and secure
- SHA-384: 384-bit hash, part of the SHA-2 family, provides higher security
- SHA-512: 512-bit hash, part of the SHA-2 family, highest security in SHA-2
- RIPEMD-160: 160-bit hash, used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
