Hash

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000511

A fixed-size string of characters generated from an input of arbitrary size, typically used for data integrity checks or quick data retrieval. A hash function computes this value, and even a small change in the input data results in a significantly different hash. Common hashing algorithms include SHA-256 and MD5.
