Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hash and what is it used for?
A hash is a fixed-size string generated from input data using a mathematical algorithm. Hashes are used for data integrity verification, password storage, digital signatures, and creating unique identifiers. The same input always produces the same hash, but you cannot reverse-engineer the original data from a hash.
Which hash algorithm should I use?
For security purposes, use SHA-256 or SHA-512. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically broken and should only be used for checksums or non-security purposes. SHA-256 offers a good balance of security and performance for most applications.
Why do small changes produce completely different hashes?
This is called the avalanche effect - a key property of cryptographic hash functions. Even changing a single character produces a completely different hash, making it impossible to predict or manipulate the output. This property is essential for security applications.
