Our online Converter will help you in SHA1 encryption of the data.
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function that takes input data and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest, typically displayed as a hexadecimal number with a length of 40 digits.
SHA-1 was developed by the national security Agency, according to the Federal information processing standard of the United States.
Since 2005, SHA-1 is no longer considered to be protected from well-funded opponents, and since 2010, many organizations replaced it with SHA-2, SHA-3.
Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla announced that their browsers will stop accepting SSL certificates from SHA-1 in 2017.
A hash function is a mathematical transformation of information in a short, specified length of the string.
Analysis by means of the hash functions are often used to control the integrity of important operating system files, important programs, important data, control may be made as necessary and on a regular basis.
First, determine the integrity of any files need to control and for each file produced by calculating the value of the hash by a special algorithm and outputs the result through the necessary time is made the same calculation and compares the results if the values differ, then the information contained in the file was changed.
