Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a hash?
A hash is a function that converts data of any length into a fixed-length string. The same input always produces the same output, but the original input cannot be recovered from the output.
Q. What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?
MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is fast but has known collision vulnerabilities. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash and is more secure, making it the currently recommended choice.
Q. Can hashes be used for password storage?
Simple hashing alone is not sufficient. For password storage, you should use dedicated hashing functions such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2.
