Why Use a Hash Generator?

Cryptographic hashes are "one-way" functions that map arbitrary data to a fixed-size string. They are commonly used for:

Data Integrity: Verifying that a file has not been altered (e.g., checking MD5 checksums).
Password Storage: Securely storing passwords (though simple hashing is not recommended for production without salt).
Digital Signatures: Ensuring the authenticity of a message.
