About Hash Algorithms:
- MD5: 128-bit hash (not recommended for cryptographic security)
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash (no longer considered secure)
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash (part of SHA-2 family, widely used)
- SHA-512: 512-bit hash (stronger version of SHA-256)
- SHA-3: Latest SHA standard with different design
- RIPEMD-160: 160-bit hash used in Bitcoin addresses
- Hashes are one-way functions - cannot be reversed to original input
- Used for data integrity checks, password storage, digital signatures
All hash generation happens in your browser - we never store or transmit your data
