  2. MD5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

    The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. MD5 was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace an earlier hash function MD4, [3] and was specified in 1992 as RFC 1321. MD5 can be used as a checksum to verify data integrity against unintentional corruption.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum

    md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes, as described in RFC 1321. The MD5 hash functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file. As with all such hashing algorithms, there is theoretically an unlimited number of files that will have any given MD5 hash.

  6. Sponge function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge_function

    The sponge construction for hash functions. P i are blocks of the input string, Z i are hashed output blocks. In cryptography, a sponge function or sponge construction is any of a class of algorithms with finite internal state that take an input bit stream of any length and produce an output bit stream of any desired length. Sponge functions ...

  7. Rainbow table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table

    The first chain assumes the hash value is in the last hash position and just applies R k; the next chain assumes the hash value is in the second-to-last hash position and applies R k−1, then H, then R k; and so on until the last chain, which applies all the reduction functions, alternating with H. This creates a new way of producing a false ...

  8. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    SHA-1: A 160-bit hash function which resembles the earlier MD5 algorithm. This was designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) to be part of the Digital Signature Algorithm . Cryptographic weaknesses were discovered in SHA-1, and the standard was no longer approved for most cryptographic uses after 2010.

  9. Merkle–Damgård construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle–Damgård_construction

    The wide-pipe hash construction. The intermediate chaining values have been doubled. Due to several structural weaknesses of Merkle–Damgård construction, especially the length extension problem and multicollision attacks, Stefan Lucks proposed the use of the wide-pipe hash [11] instead of Merkle–Damgård construction.
