SHA-256 (Recommended – secure default)
SHA-1 (Faster but less secure)
SHA-384/SHA-512 (Stronger, larger hashes)
MD5 (Fast but cryptographically broken)

🛡️ Security Best Practices
Use Case | Recommended Algorithm |
---|---|
File integrity checks | SHA-256 |
Password storage | SHA-512 with salt |
Digital signatures | SHA-384 |
Legacy systems | SHA-1 (only if required) |
💡 Always verify hashes from trusted sources!
