What is Hash algorithm?

Hash algorithm is primarily used for comparison purpose, not for encryption

Many secure Hash Algorithms have three basic characteristics:

1. Secure – Non-reversible function
2. Fixed size – Short or long data will produce the fixed-size digest
3. Unique – Two different data sets cannot produce the same digest

Secure - Non-reversible function

Fixed size - Short or long data will produce the fixed-size digest
