Hashing Algorithms
Hashing algorithms are deterministic functions that map arbitrary input to fixed-size digests, used for integrity checks, authentication primitives, and indexing. They prioritize collision resistance, preimage resistance and speed depending on use-case. Choosing one involves trade-offs between security, performance and compatibility; deprecated algorithms (MD5, SHA-1) must be avoided.
