hash function
type of function that maps data of arbitrary size to data of fixed size
Fuzzy hashing
algorithmic technique using hashing
cryptographic hash function
special class of hash function that has certain properties which make it suitable for use in cryptography
universal one-way hash function
type of universal hash function in cryptography proposed as an alternative to collision-resistant hash functions
non-cryptographic hash function
hash functions intended for applications that do not need rigorous security
perfect hash function
set of hash functions generate no collisions
cyclic redundancy check
type of hash function used to detect errors in data storage or transmission
rolling hash
hash function where the input is hashed in a window that moves through the input
LM hash
compromised password hashing function that was the primary hash that Microsoft LAN Manager and Microsoft Windows versions prior to Windows NT used to store user passwords
Zobrist hashing
hash function construction used in computer programs that play abstract board games
Acoustic fingerprint
condensed digital summary (“fingerprint”) deterministically generated from an audio signal, that can be used to identify an audio sample or quickly locate similar items in an audio database
