In message authentication, a mathematical procedure used to condense an input of any size into a digest of fixed length, typically 160 bits long. Cryptographically strong hash functions are designed so that a forger would find it computationally impossible to devise a different message that would yield the same hash. In other words, the fingerprints generated are virtually unique. 3, record 1, English, - hash%20algorithm
