SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MACTripleDES, MD5, RIPEMD160: Cryptographic Hash Functions Explained

SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are all cryptographic hash functions commonly used for message authentication and integrity checking.

MACTripleDES is a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm that utilizes the Triple DES encryption algorithm to provide message authentication and integrity checking.

MD5 and RIPEMD160 are also cryptographic hash functions used for message authentication and integrity checking. However, they are considered less secure than the SHA family of hash functions due to their vulnerability to collision attacks.
