Did You Know?
The MD5 hash algorithm was created by Ronald Rivest in 1991 and produces a 128-bit hash, though it's now considered cryptographically broken due to collision vulnerabilities.
SHA-256, part of the SHA-2 family, was designed by the NSA and is widely used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for its security properties.
Hash functions are one-way mathematical operations that convert any input data into a fixed-size string, making them ideal for password storage and data integrity verification.
