Hash Generator
Generate multiple hash types (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) from text input
About Hash Functions
Hash functions convert data of arbitrary size into fixed-size values. They are used for data integrity verification, password storage, and fingerprinting data.
- MD5: 128-bit hash (no longer secure for cryptographic purposes)
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash (deprecated for security applications)
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash (widely used and secure)
- SHA-512: 512-bit hash (provides higher security margin)
