  1. MD5

    • A cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit hash value, typically represented as a 32-character hexadecimal number.
    • Despite being broken and considered insecure, MD5 is still widely used for file integrity checks and non-secure applications due to its speed.

  2. SHA-1

    • A cryptographic hash function that generates a 160-bit hash value, commonly displayed as a 40-character hexadecimal string.
    • Once widely used in security protocols like SSL/TLS, SHA-1 is now deprecated in favor of stronger algorithms due to its vulnerability to collision attacks.

  3. SHA-224

    • A variant of SHA-256 that produces a 224-bit hash value, designed for environments with a need for slightly smaller output.
    • SHA-224 is typically used in applications where security is important, but storage space is limited, like embedded systems.

  4. SHA-256

    • A member of the SHA-2 family, this algorithm generates a 256-bit hash value, offering enhanced security over SHA-1.
    • SHA-256 is the hash function behind the security of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

  5. SHA-384

    • Another member of the SHA-2 family that produces a 384-bit hash value, providing higher security and a longer output than SHA-256.
    • It is often used in digital certificates and high-security communications when a stronger hash is required.

  6. SHA-512

    • Produces a 512-bit hash value, providing robust security, part of the SHA-2 family.
    • Often used in cryptographic applications where both security and large hash sizes are required, such as secure file storage.

  7. RIPEMD-160

    • A cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit hash value, developed as an alternative to the SHA family.
    • RIPEMD-160 is less commonly used in mainstream applications but is popular in some European cryptographic standards.
