What is a cryptographic hash? A hash (also called a digest, and informally a checksum) is a kind of signature for a stream of data that represents the contents. The closest real-life analog we can think is a tamper-evident seal on a software package: if you open the box (change the file), it's detected.
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 lookuphash functions accelerate table or database lookup by detecting duplicated records in a large filehe 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
