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.
Home | Tasks | Protect a Password Database with a One-way Hash Protect a Password Database with a One-way Hash A one-way hash function is a cryptographic algorithm that turns an arbitrary-length input into a fixed-length binary value, and this transformation is one-way, that is, given a hash value it is statistically infeasible to re-create a document that would produce this value.
