Hashing (Cryptographic)
[Hashing Home][Home]
Hashing methods take data and convert to a hash value. The most popular cryptographic hashing methods are: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2 (SHA-256) and SHA-3. Blake 3 is also becoming popular as it is one of the fastest hashing methods around. SHA-3 is based on Keccak, and was standardized by NIST. There are also non-cryptographic hashes, and which do not have he same security levels as the cryptographic hashes, but are often much faster in their operation. Along with this there are slowing hashing methods, and which are used within password hash generation and in generating encryption keys from passwords. These include PBKDF2 and Bcrypt.
