What are hash functions?
Hash functions produce a fixed-size output (digest) from arbitrary input. They are one-way: you cannot reverse a hash to get the original input.
Supported algorithms
SHA-1 (160-bit), SHA-256 (256-bit), SHA-384 (384-bit), SHA-512 (512-bit). SHA-256 is recommended for most use cases.
Use cases
File integrity checks, password storage (with salting), data fingerprinting, and digital signatures.
