Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash?
A cryptographic hash is a fixed-size string produced from input data using a one-way function. Common algorithms include MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.
Is MD5 still secure?
MD5 is considered cryptographically broken for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security-sensitive applications. MD5 is still useful for checksums and non-security uses.
