<h2 id="what-is-hashing">What is Hashing?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-hashing" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>Hashing is a process that transforms input data (often called plaintext) of any length into a fixed-length string of characters. This transformation produces a “hash,” a unique fingerprint of the original data, typically represented by a string of letters and numbers.</p>
<p>The distinct feature of hashing is its <strong>irreversibility</strong>. Once data is hashed, you cannot easily revert it to its original form. This is because hashing is a <strong>one-way function</strong>. Although it’s technically possible to guess the input by brute force or through algorithmic flaws (in weaker hashing algorithms), good hashing algorithms are designed to make such efforts practically infeasible.</p>

<p>Hashing algorithms vary in complexity, security, and length of output. Here are some of the most widely used types:</p>
<h6 id="md5-message-digest-algorithm-5">MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5)<a class="headerlink" href="#md5-message-digest-algorithm-5" title="Permanent link"></a></h6>
<ul>
<li>Produces a 128-bit hash.</li>
<li>It’s fast but vulnerable to collisions, meaning two different inputs can produce the same hash. Due to these vulnerabilities, MD5 is generally not recommended for secure applications today.</li>
</ul>
<h6 id="sha-1-secure-hash-algorithm-1">SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1)<a class="headerlink" href="#sha-1-secure-hash-algorithm-1" title="Permanent link"></a></h6>
<ul>
<li>Produces a 160-bit hash.</li>
<li>SHA-1 was widely used in the past but is now considered insecure for most applications due to susceptibility to collision attacks.</li>
</ul>
<h6 id="sha-2-secure-hash-algorithm-2">SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2)<a class="headerlink" href="#sha-2-secure-hash-algorithm-2" title="Permanent link"></a></h6>
<ul>
<li>A family of hash functions that includes SHA-256 (producing a 256-bit hash) and SHA-512 (producing a 512-bit hash).</li>
<li>SHA-256 is a highly secure and widely used hashing algorithm, particularly in cryptocurrency and digital certificates.</li>
</ul>
<h6 id="sha-3-secure-hash-algorithm-3">SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3)<a class="headerlink" href="#sha-3-secure-hash-algorithm-3" title="Permanent link"></a></h6>
<ul>
<li>A newer standard designed to offer security even against advanced attacks. It’s computationally intensive but highly secure, often used in cryptographic applications that require maximum security.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these algorithms are designed with specific trade-offs in mind between security, performance, and output size.</p>
