An Overview of Cryptographic Hash Functions and Their Uses
نویسنده
چکیده
To understand the viability of using hash functions to verify integrity and source of information, one must first examine the properties and origin of the basic hash function. The standard hash function serves as a basis for the discussion of Cryptographic Hash Functions. There are several hash functions currently in use today, including MD5 and SHA1. By examining the history and security available in each function, the user can determine which algorithm is best suited for their application.
