SHA1 Hash Generator
Generate SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) hashes from text. Note that SHA1 is a 160-bit hash function that is no longer considered cryptographically secure due to vulnerabilities.
About SHA1 Hash
- Hash functions convert input data into fixed-size output strings
- Each algorithm produces different length outputs and has different characteristics
- MD5 (128-bit) and SHA1 (160-bit) are older and no longer considered cryptographically secure
- SHA256 and above are currently recommended for security applications
- The same input will always produce the same hash output
- Even small changes in input produce completely different hashes
