About Hash Functions
Understanding different hash algorithms
MD5 (128-bit)
Fast but cryptographically broken. Suitable for checksums but not security.
SHA-1 (160-bit)
Deprecated for security use. Still used in some legacy systems.
SHA-256 (256-bit)
Secure and widely used. Part of the SHA-2 family. Recommended for most uses.
SHA-512 (512-bit)
More secure than SHA-256 with longer hash. Good for high-security applications.
Use Cases:
- • File integrity verification
- • Password storage (with salt)
- • Digital signatures
- • Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- • Data deduplication
