Choosing the right hash algorithm

  • MD5 — fast 128-bit hash, used for checksums and non-security fingerprinting. Not suitable for passwords.
  • SHA-1 — 160-bit hash, deprecated for security use. Still used in Git commit IDs.
  • SHA-256 — 256-bit secure hash. Standard for digital signatures, certificates, and blockchain. Recommended.
  • SHA-512 — 512-bit variant of SHA-2. Stronger and faster on 64-bit systems.
  • HMAC — keyed hash for message authentication. Used in webhook verification and API request signing.
  • File checksum — verify file integrity after download by comparing hash values.
