Cryptographic Hash Function

Cryptographic hash functions are mathematical algorithms that generate a fixed-size string of characters, known as a hash value, from input data of any size. These functions are widely used for data integrity verification and password storage in data center security. They provide a way to ensure that data has not been altered or tampered with, as any change in the input data results in a different hash value, making them a crucial tool for maintaining data security and integrity.
