摘要：In the world of computing, there is always a need for unique values to be generated for numerous applications. Various methods exist with the most common being reliant on an instance of time. But when we need to generate a unique value, based on an input factor such that the exact same value is generated, every time the input factor is the same, cryptographic hashing functions get the job done. Cryptographic hashing functions have many uses like digital signatures, message authentication, checksum generation, digital fingerprinting and securing passwords in a database. In this paper, we review and compare multiple hashing algorithms by different criteria with emphasis on message authentication.
