Cryptographic Hash Functions
Key building blocks for secure systems
Cryptographic hash functions take input data of any size and convert it into a fixed-length value (hash/digest). It acts as a digital fingerprint and is used to verify data integrity and detect modifications.
Adding authentication
Hash functions alone provide data integrity but do not authenticate the sender. When both integrity and authenticity are required, a keyed construction such as HMAC (Hash based Message Authentication Code) is used.
Hashing algorithms
The most widely used cryptographic hash functions are standardized by NIST. The SHA-2 family (e.g. SHA-256 and SHA-512) is the established industry standard, while the SHA-3 family represents the latest generation of NIST-standardized hash algorithms.
