No one knows for sure. But most believe that it is a characteristic of a secure hash algorithm, when you can’t tell if it is an algorithm or a computer program.
That’s like saying that the “not a characteristic of a secure hash algorithm” is a characteristic of a computer program. It’s just a computer program. And if you can’t tell it’s a computer program, then it’s an algorithm.
It seems like every time we hear about a hash function, we hear that it is a computer program.
The theory of a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is that it is an algorithm. It is a method, not a computer program. It has a number of different properties that make it ideal for use in a computer system. For example, it is impossible for a computer to break it.
Algorithms are computer programs. It doesn’t mean that they are necessarily computer programs.
the only point I can think of in the context of hash functions is that they are computer programs and thus the output of a hash function is a computer program. That’s why a hash function’s output can be used to map the input from a file to another file or to a key to a function.
A hash function is a program that takes a key and creates a hash value for the key. The algorithm that creates this hash value is called the hash function.
A secure hash function is the algorithm that creates the hash value. The output of a hash function is a computer program.
Theoretically, no. In practice, a hash function is created by a number of steps. The first step is to determine which of the input bytes is a key and which is the data. Then the hash algorithm is performed on the key. The hash algorithm is also performed on the data. And finally, the hash value is returned. These steps are combined with each other and the final hash value is created.
