Hash Functions Repository

This repository is a collection of resources, and code examples about hash functions, created as part of my Computer Networks and Security class.

Contents

• Examples: Code implementations of popular hash functions (e.g., MD5, SHA-256).
• Resources: Links to articles, videos, and tools for further learning.

What is a Hash Function?

A hash function is a mathematical function that takes an input (or "message") and returns a fixed-size string of bytes. The output is typically a hash value or digest. Hash functions are widely used in cryptography, data integrity checks, and data structures like hash tables.

Examples

Check out the `examples/` directory for code implementations of hash functions in Python.
