Frequently Asked Questions
What is hash?
Hash is a function that converts data into a fixed string. It's irreversible - you can't recover the original.
Which algorithm should I use?
For security, use SHA-256 or SHA-512. MD5 and SHA-1 are no longer considered secure for passwords.
Is hash encryption?
No! Hash is one-way (irreversible). Encryption allows reversing (decrypting) the data.
Which algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 is recommended for general use. MD5 is fast but less secure. SHA-512 offers maximum security.
How to verify file integrity with hash?
Generate the hash of the received file and compare with the original hash provided. If they match, the file was not altered. SHA-256 is the most used algorithm for integrity verification.
