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
