Cryptographic hash function
text:
A cryptographic hash function (CHF) is a hash algorithm that has special properties desirable for a cryptographic application:
- the probability of a particular n
-bit output result for a random input string ("message") is 2 − n, so the hash value can be used as a representative of the message;
- finding an input string that matches a given hash value is infeasible, assuming all input strings are equally likely. The resistance to such search is quantified as security strength: a cryptographi
