Hash and checksum examples
Known test vectors help confirm that an algorithm, input encoding, and output encoding agree.
Integrity comparison
computed digest === published digest
A match detects accidental or malicious changes only when the expected digest came from a trusted source.
Common mistakes
- Using MD5 or SHA-1 for new security-sensitive workflows.
- Comparing Base64 values case-insensitively.
- Trusting a checksum downloaded beside an untrusted file.
