The title probably should be 'Cryptographic Hash Algorithms'. The definitions from the post are approximately true for cryptographic hashes but not really for hash functions in general.
- js8 10y agoI agree, it's definitely not a "comprehensive" guide. If it was comprehensive, it would include different algorithms, trade offs, talk about things like perfect hashing, hashes that preserve ordering, etc.
- bogomipz 10y agoDoes anyone have a "more" comprehensive guide they can recommend? There were parts of this I really liked but some of the "why" left me confused.
