Define a hash.

What will be an ideal response?


In computer security, a hash (or more accurately, a cryptographic hash function) is a mathematical function that you run on a string of binary digits of any length that results in a value of some fixed length (often called a checksum or a message digest). No matter how long or how short the input, the hash's message digest will always be the same length (usually around 100 to 500 bits long, depending on the type of hash you use).
