Comparison of cryptographic hash functions
ID: comparison-of-cryptographic-hash-functions
Cryptographic hash functions are integral to modern computing, security, and blockchain technologies. They are designed to take an input (or message) and produce a fixed-size string of characters, which appears random. The output, known as the hash value or digest, has several important properties that make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including integrity verification, digital signatures, and password storage. Here’s a comparison of some popular cryptographic hash functions based on various criteria: ### 1.
