Hash

Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata

A hash value is the result of a mathematical algorithm that processes a piece of data (for example a file), to determine a unique value of a certain length. The algorithm is designed so that very small changes to the data produce a large change in the hash value that results from the algorithm. The length of the hash is chosen to make it statistically impossible for another file to produce the same hash value.

Common hash algorithms include MD5 and SHA.
