Hash is a fixed bit length data that changes with the data input, hashes are used for security reasons, for example in case of user registration process, the password value is saved in a hashed form to the database while in login step the checking for password validation is done by comparing the hashes forms and not the original password input, by this manner it saves the passwords from being stolen by database administrator or any hacker. Hashing algorithms are one way encryption, in python we use the hashlib module which supports many algorithms MD4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, etc, following is an example for hashing in python:


python code
import hashlib


## For algorithms have functions
print 'SHA-224: ',hashlib.sha224("codemiles").hexdigest()
print 'SHA-256: ',hashlib.sha256("codemiles").hexdigest()
print 'MD5: ',hashlib.md5("codemiles").hexdigest()
print 'MD4: ',hashlib.md4("codemiles").hexdigest()
print 'SHA-1: ',hashlib.sha1("codemiles").hexdigest()


## For algorithms have no functions ( Creating objects)
myHashAlg = hashlib.new('ripemd160');
myHashAlg.update('codemiles')
print 'RIPEMD-160: ',myHashAlg.hexdigest()

## Checking if the character case make a different.?
if hashlib.sha1("code").hexdigest() == hashlib.sha1("CODE").hexdigest():
print "NO"
else:
print "YES"
