Hash Algorithm Information
Security Recommendations
- ✅ Recommended: SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512
- ⚠️ Deprecated: MD5, SHA-1 (use only for non-security purposes)
- 💡 Use Case: File integrity, password hashing (with salt), digital signatures
Common Use Cases
- File Integrity: Verify file hasn't been corrupted
- Password Storage: Store password hashes (with proper salting)
- Data Deduplication: Identify duplicate content
- Checksums: Quick data validation
Security Note: MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and should not be used for security-sensitive applications. Use SHA-256 or higher for secure applications.
