  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.

  5. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    The sender is required to find a message whose hash value begins with a number of zero bits. The average work that the sender needs to perform in order to find a valid message is exponential in the number of zero bits required in the hash value, while the recipient can verify the validity of the message by executing a single hash function.

  6. Digest access authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication

    The "response" value is calculated in three steps, as follows. Where values are combined, they are delimited by colons. The MD5 hash of the combined username, authentication realm and password is calculated. The result is referred to as HA1. The MD5 hash of the combined method and digest URI is calculated, e.g. of "GET" and "/dir/index.html ...

  7. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    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.

  8. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    These examples assume that a consumer CPU can do about 65,000 SHA-1 hashes in one second. Thus, a program that uses key stretching can use 65,000 rounds of hashes and delay the user for at most one second. Testing a trial password or passphrase typically requires one hash operation.

  9. Merkle–Damgård construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle–Damgård_construction

    Therefore, in a final step, a second compression function compresses the last internal hash value (2n bits) to the final hash value (n bits). This can be done as simply as discarding half of the last 2n-bit output. SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 take this form since they are derived from a variant of SHA-512.
