Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash function?
A hash function is an algorithm that transforms an input of arbitrary size into a fixed-size output. Cryptographic hashes are one-way.
What are hashes used for?
Hashes are used for file integrity verification, secure password storage, and digital signatures.
What is the difference between MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256/512?
They are different algorithms with varying security levels. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered insecure today. SHA-256/512 are part of the secure SHA-2 family.
