sha512hashencryptionsecuritychecksum
Input
SHA512
Most secure, largest hash size • 128 characters (512 bits)
SHA256
Widely used, good balance of security and speed • 64 characters (256 bits)
SHA1
Legacy algorithm, not recommended for security • 40 characters (160 bits)
MD5
Fast but cryptographically broken • 32 characters (128 bits)

About Cryptographic Hashing
🔒 What is Hashing?
Hashing is a one-way cryptographic function that converts input data into a fixed-length string. Unlike encryption, hashes cannot be reversed.
🛡️ Security Levels
SHA512 and SHA256 are currently secure. SHA1 is deprecated, and MD5 is cryptographically broken but still used for checksums.
📊 Use Cases
File integrity verification, password storage, digital signatures, blockchain, and data deduplication.
⚠️ Important Note
Hashing is not encryption! Hashes are one-way functions and cannot be "decrypted" back to original data.
