Table of Hash Functions
In the following table, we’ll explain each hash function, which you can easily use by running our hash generator.
Algorithm | Description | Output Length | Use Cases | Security |
---|---|---|---|---|
MD5 | An older hash function that generates a 128-bit value. | 128 bits | Checksums, non-critical integrity verification. | Insecure: Vulnerable to collision attacks. |
SHA1 | Produces a 160-bit hash. Widely used historically, but now deprecated. | 160 bits | Legacy systems, digital signatures (deprecated). | Insecure: Susceptible to collision attacks. |
SHA-256 | Part of the SHA-2 family; generates a 256-bit hash. | 256 bits | Data integrity, cryptographic applications. | Secure for most applications. |
SHA-384 | Part of SHA-2; generates a 384-bit hash, providing more security than SHA-256. | 384 bits | Highly sensitive cryptographic contexts. | Secure. |
SHA-512 | Part of SHA-2; generates a 512-bit hash for high security. | 512 bits | Cryptography, blockchain, secure communications. | Secure. |
SHA3-224 | Part of SHA-3 family; produces a 224-bit hash. | 224 bits | Alternative to SHA-2, lightweight applications. | Secure. |
SHA3-256 | Part of SHA-3 family; generates a 256-bit hash. | 256 bits | Cryptographic tasks, modern use cases. | Secure. |
SHA3-384 | Part of SHA-3 family; produces a 384-bit hash. | 384 bits | Similar to SHA-384, but uses a sponge construction. | Secure. |
SHA3-512 | Part of SHA-3 family; generates a 512-bit hash. | 512 bits | High-security applications, cryptographic contexts. | Secure. |
RIPEMD-160 | Legacy hash function producing a 160-bit value. | 160 bits | Compatible with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). | Weakened: Not widely recommended. |
Whirlpool | A 512-bit cryptographic hash function. | 512 bits | Not supported in the code; SHA-512 used as fallback. | Secure, but not widely adopted. |
CRC32 | Cyclic Redundancy Check algorithm, often used for error-checking. | ~32 bits | File integrity checks, detecting accidental data corruption. | Not Secure: Not cryptographic. |
Adler-32 | Similar to CRC32, simpler and faster but less reliable for error checking. | ~32 bits | Lightweight error detection in non-critical systems. | Not Secure: Not cryptographic. |
Hash Notes
- Output Length: Indicates the size of the resulting hash in bits.
- Security: Reflects the algorithm’s resistance to vulnerabilities like collision and pre-image attacks.
- Fallbacks: Whirlpool, CRC32, and Adler32 are not directly supported in the code, with approximations provided instead.
- SHA-2 and SHA-3 Families: These are modern, secure hash algorithms widely used for cryptographic purposes. SHA-3 employs a different design (sponge construction) than SHA-2.
