A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to data of fixed size.The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, or simply hashes. One use is a data structure called a hash table, widely used in computer software for rapid data lookup.Hash functions accelerate table or database lookup by detecting duplicated records in a large file.he values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, or simply hashes.

Instead, a fixed-length hash value is computed based on the plaintext that makes it impossible for either the contents or length of the plaintext to be recovered. The primary application of hash functions in cryptography is message integrity.The hash value provides a digital fingerprint of a message's contents, which ensures that the message has not been altered by an intruder, virus, or by other means.y Stephen Northcutt. There are three types of cryptography algorithms: secret key, public key, and hash functions. Unlike secret key and public key algorithms, hash functions, also called message digests or one-way encryption, have no key.
