About Hash Functions

What are Hash Functions?

Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert input data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters. They're widely used in cryptography, data integrity verification, and password storage.

Common Use Cases

• Password verification
• File integrity checking
• Digital signatures
• Blockchain and cryptocurrencies
• Data deduplication
• Checksums for downloads

Security Note

While SHA-1 is included for compatibility, it's considered cryptographically weak. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security-critical applications.
