What is Hash Function?

A hash function is a mathematical function that maps data of arbitrary length to a fixed-length digest. It has properties of determinism, irreversibility, and avalanche effect, widely used in data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures.

MD5

128-bit · Deprecated

SHA-1

160-bit · Deprecated

SHA-256

256-bit · Recommended

SHA-512

512-bit · High Security

Security and application scenario comparison of different hash algorithms

Key Features

Determinism

Same input always produces the same hash value

Irreversibility

Cannot reverse-engineer original data from hash value

Avalanche Effect

Small changes in input lead to large changes in output

Fixed Length

Output length is fixed regardless of input length

Important Security Notice

MD5 and SHA-1 have been proven to have security vulnerabilities and are not recommended for security-sensitive scenarios. It is recommended to use SHA-256 or higher-level algorithms for cryptographic hashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hash function?

A hash function is a mathematical function that maps data of arbitrary length to a fixed-length digest. It has properties of determinism, irreversibility, and avalanche effect, widely used in data integrity verification, password storage, and other scenarios.

What's the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?

MD5 is a 128-bit hash algorithm that's fast but security has been compromised, only suitable for non-security scenarios. SHA-256 is a 256-bit algorithm that provides higher security and is currently the recommended standard hash algorithm.

Why are MD5 and SHA-1 not recommended?

MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms have been proven to have collision vulnerabilities, where attackers can construct different data with the same hash value. Therefore, they are not recommended for security-sensitive scenarios; SHA-256 or higher-level algorithms are recommended.

What's the maximum file size I can process?

There's no theoretical file size limit, but we recommend processing files under 100MB for optimal performance. Large files will use chunked processing technology to ensure browsers don't crash due to insufficient memory.

Can hash values be used to encrypt data?

No. Hash functions are one-way and cannot recover original data from hash values. If you need to encrypt data, you should use symmetric encryption algorithms like AES or asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA.

Why do the same inputs produce different hash values?

If the same inputs produce different hash values, it might be because: 1) Different hash algorithms were used; 2) The input data encoding is different; 3) Salt values or other parameters were added. Hash functions themselves are deterministic, and the same input should produce the same output.

Is this tool secure?

Yes, this tool runs entirely on the client side and doesn't upload any data to servers. All hash calculations are performed in your browser, ensuring data privacy and security.

How do I verify file integrity?

First, use the same hash algorithm to calculate the file's hash value, then compare it with the hash value provided by the provider. If the two hash values are exactly the same, the file is intact; if different, the file may have been tampered with or corrupted.
