Hash Function Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 algorithms. Useful for data integrity verification and password storage.

Supported Algorithms:

• • MD5: 128-bit (legacy, use for checksums only)
• • SHA1: 160-bit (deprecated for security)
• • SHA256: 256-bit (recommended)
• • SHA512: 512-bit (high security)

Common Use Cases:

• • File integrity verification
• • Password hashing (with salt)
• • Digital signatures
• • Blockchain applications
• • Data deduplication

Security Notes:

• • Use SHA256+ for security applications
• • Always use salt for password hashing
• • MD5/SHA1 only for non-security purposes
