SHA-512

Algorithms

MD5 — 128-bit, fast. Broken for collision-resistance; useful only for non-security checks (file checksums, cache keys).

SHA-1 — 160-bit. Also collision-broken; still seen in legacy git, TLS, and signatures.

SHA-256 — the modern default. Used by Bitcoin, TLS, JWT signing, and most secure systems.

SHA-384 — 384-bit; truncated SHA-512 used in some certificate chains.

SHA-512 — 512-bit; preferred where the longest digest is wanted.

Common Use Cases

File integrity: Verify a download matches a published checksum.

Cache keys: Generate stable, fixed-length keys from arbitrary input.

API signatures: Compute HMAC-style digests for request signing.

Password storage research: Inspect hash output formats (use a real KDF like Argon2/bcrypt for production).

Deduplication: Group identical content by digest.

Privacy and Security

All hashing happens in your browser. The input text is never sent over the network or stored. Hashing is one-way — it can't be reversed — but for sensitive inputs prefer not to compute a hash on a device or in a window you don't trust.
