FAQ
What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?
MD5 generates a 32-character hash and is faster but less secure. SHA-256 generates a 64-character hash with higher security, suitable for file integrity verification.
Is hashing encryption?
No. Hashing is a one-way function that cannot reverse the original data from the hash. It is commonly used for password storage and data integrity verification.
