Bottom of Form

A cryptographic hash function is a function (or tool) that is used for modern cryptography; it is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of size, to a bit string of a fixed size and is a one way function meaning, it can not be inverted. In most cases, the only way to find a message that produces a given hash is to attempt a brute-force search of possible inputs to see if they can produce a match. List and define the main properties of an ideal cryptographic hash function.
