A hash is a checksum, not encryption. The original text normally cannot be meaningfully recovered from a hash value.

ReadyNotes
- SHA-256 is a good default for many checksums and integrity checks.
- SHA-384 and SHA-512 produce longer hash values.
- SHA-1 is outdated and should only be used for compatibility or comparing old hash values.
- Simple hashes are not enough for passwords. Password storage needs specialized password hashing methods.
- Files are read locally in the browser. Content is not uploaded.
