Hash generation creates a deterministic digest; it does not encrypt data

A cryptographic hash function maps input data to a fixed-size digest. Hashes are useful for integrity checks, comparisons and developer workflows because the same input produces the same digest for a given algorithm.

Hashing is one-way by design and differs from encryption. The security properties also depend on the selected algorithm and the purpose for which the digest is being used.

Useful hashing workflows

  • Compare controlled text values using their digests.
  • Create checksums for testing or integrity-oriented workflows.
  • Inspect differences between supported hash algorithms.

Security context

  • Legacy hashes may be unsuitable for modern security-sensitive applications.
  • Plain fast hashes should not automatically be used for password storage.
  • A matching digest only has meaning when the input and algorithm are both understood.

Before relying on the result

Keep the source until you have checked the generated output. The source and destination formats can represent structure, layout and metadata differently, so important documents should be reviewed in the application or device where the result will actually be used.
