How should hashing algorithm calculations be included in a report?

What will be an ideal response?


?In most cases, hashing algorithms are calculated in digital forensics investigations. If you use any hashing algorithms, be sure to give the common name, such as "Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash." Generally, you don't need to give examples of each type of hash if you're using standard tools; you explain generally what they do and cite the authority or policy you rely on for using the tool. For example, to explain why you're using the MD5 hash, you might cite the National Software Reference Library as an authority. You could also cite a court case in which a tool's validity had been accepted previously.
