Differences between Cryptographic Hashing Functions
A crytographic hashing function is a deterministic procedure that takes a block of code and returns a fixed bit string.
Two widely used hasing functions used today are MD5 and SHA-1
SHA-1
SHA-1 was designed by the Nation Security Agency (NSA) in 1995.
Published by The National Institute of Standards and Technology as a Federal Information Processing Standard for the US.
