1. A mathematical function that maps values from a large (or very large) domain into a smaller range, and that reduces a potentially long message into a "message digest" or "hash value" or that is sufficiently compact to be input into a digital signature algorithm.
Note: A "good" hash function is one that results from applying the function to a… (Read More →)
