Algorithm Comparison
MD5
Fast but cryptographically broken. Use only for checksums.
SHA-1
Deprecated for security. Avoid for new applications.
SHA-256
Secure and widely used. Recommended for most applications.
SHA-512
More secure than SHA-256. Good for high-security needs.
SHA-3
Latest standard. Different design from SHA-2 family.

FAQ
Which algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 for most applications, SHA-512 for higher security, avoid MD5/SHA-1.
Are hashes reversible?
No, cryptographic hashes are one-way functions and cannot be reversed.
