A hash algorithm is a function that converts a data string into a numeric string output of fixed length. The output string is generally much smaller than the original data. Hash algorithms are designe [..]

A hash algorithm resp. a hash function maps blocks of data of arbitrary length to blocks of a fixed length. The result of a hash algorithm using a cryptographic hash function is also called a digital [..]

The Hash Algorithm is a mathematical formula used to generate a number from a variable-length text string. Commonly used in security applications, a hash creates an encrypted number sent along with a message that the recipient decrypts to verify the message's integrity.
