Hash Function

A mathematical function that transforms data of any size into a fixed-size fingerprint, irreversibly. Hash functions (SHA-256, bcrypt, Argon2) are used for password storage, integrity verification, and signatures. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered obsolete and should no longer be used for security functions.
