Hash Information

Learn about different hash algorithms

128-bit hash function. Fast but cryptographically broken. Use only for file integrity checks, not security.

160-bit hash function. Deprecated due to security vulnerabilities. Avoid for new applications.

256-bit hash function. Widely used and considered secure. Recommended for most applications.

512-bit hash function. Highest security level. Use for applications requiring maximum security.

Use Cases

Common applications for hash functions

File Integrity: Verify files haven't been corrupted during transfer

Password Storage: Store hashed passwords instead of plain text

Digital Signatures: Verify authenticity of digital documents

Blockchain: Create unique identifiers for data blocks

Checksums: Detect errors in data transmission
