Hash Algorithm Comparison

Understanding different hash algorithms and their use cases

Secure Algorithms

SHA-256
256-bit

Current standard for secure hashing. Used in blockchain and security applications.

SHA-512
512-bit

Higher security with larger hash size. Ideal for high-security applications.

Legacy Algorithms

SHA-1
160-bit

Deprecated for security use. Still used for checksums and git commits.

MD5
128-bit

Fast but not secure. Only use for checksums, never for passwords.

Common Use Cases

File Integrity

Verify file integrity during transfers and detect corruption.

Password Storage

Store password hashes instead of plain text (use with salt).

Digital Signatures

Create unique fingerprints for documents and data.
