Description

• This tool generates the SHA-1 hash of a given text.

Facts

• SHA-1, which stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 1, is a commonly used hash function.
• SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function which takes an input text and generates a 160-bit hash value which is 40 characters in length.
• SHA-1 is often used as a checksum to verify data integrity against data corruption or alteration.
• SHA-1 is considered cryptographically broken but is still commonly used because it is a fast algorithm.
• The SHA-1 hash value of an empty string or empty file is da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709.
