========================================================================Frequently Asked Questions
MD5 (128-bit) and SHA-1 (160-bit) are older hashing algorithms that are no longer cryptographically collision-resistant; while still widely used for legacy file integrity checks and data deduplication, they are deprecated for digital signatures and secure storage. SHA-256 (256-bit) and SHA-512 (512-bit) belong to the modern SHA-2 family specified by NIST (FIPS PUB 180-4). They provide military-grade collision resistance and serve as the global standard for TLS/SSL certificates, package managers, and blockchain networks.
No. 100% of the hashing process executes directly within your local browser process using volatile memory and the native Web Cryptography API. Zero bytes of text, API keys, documents, or binary files are ever transmitted to any external server or telemetry endpoint.
The Checksum Verifier compares a user-supplied hash (from a vendor website or release note) against the computed message digests. It normalizes common formatting such as colons (AA:BB:CC...), hyphens, and whitespace, ignores uppercase/lowercase variations, auto-detects the target algorithm based on hexadecimal string length (e.g. 64 characters for SHA-256), and displays a clear green MATCH or red MISMATCH banner.
In theory, because hash algorithms map arbitrary input sizes to fixed-length outputs, collisions must exist (pigeonhole principle). However, for modern algorithms like SHA-256 (with 2^256 possible outputs) and SHA-512, finding a collision is computationally impossible with current and foreseeable technology. For legacy MD5 and SHA-1, practical collision attacks exist, which is why SHA-256 is recommended for all secure data integrity verification.
No. Cryptographic hash functions are strictly one-way mathematical algorithms designed to be irreversible. However, short and common inputs can be matched against precomputed rainbow tables or dictionary attacks. Therefore, sensitive passwords should always be stored using salted, slow key-derivation functions (like Argon2 or bcrypt) rather than fast raw digests.
