The Secure Hash Algorithms are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), including:
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. [3] [4] They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.

Whirlpool is a Miyaguchi-Preneel construction based on a substantially modified Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Whirlpool takes a message of any length less than 2 256 bits and returns a 512-bit message digest. [3] The authors have declared that "WHIRLPOOL is not (and will never be) patented. It may be used free of charge for any purpose." [2]
md5sum is specific to systems that use GNU coreutils or a clone such as BusyBox.On FreeBSD and OpenBSD the utilities are called md5, sha1, sha256, and sha512.These versions offer slightly different options and features.
Encryption scrambles and unscrambles your data to keep it protected. • A public key scrambles the data. • A private key unscrambles the data. Credit card security. When you make a purchase on AOL, we'll only finish the transaction if your browser supports SSL.
A rainbow table is a precomputed table for caching the outputs of a cryptographic hash function, usually for cracking password hashes.Passwords are typically stored not in plain text form, but as hash values.
