About Hash Functions
A cryptographic hash function is a one-way mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a bit string of a fixed size (a hash). It's a fundamental component of modern cryptography, used for everything from verifying file integrity to securing passwords.
- MD5: A widely used but insecure hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. (Warning: Native browser support for MD5 varies, might require polyfill if very old browser)
- SHA-1: Another common but now insecure hash function producing a 160-bit hash.
- SHA-256: A member of the SHA-2 family, widely used and considered secure. Produces a 256-bit hash.
- SHA-512: A stronger version in the SHA-2 family, producing a 512-bit hash.
