SHA1 Hash Generator – Secure Hashes Made Easy

The SHA1 Hash Generator create unique 160 bit hash value. In our system you can create it for text. It has been used in different purposes like verifying data integrity or digital signatures but it is not secure as good as SHA256 or SHA512.

What is SHA1 ?

SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function and generates hash value. It is an old system and new versions of 256 or 512 is more secure. But it is still used in old(legacy) systems and non critical tasks. It is also very costly to to change it legacy systems to support 266 or 512.

How Does It Work ?

  • OutPut: Select your output data Hex or Array.
  • Input Your Data: Enter the text you want to hash.
  • Secret Key: Select Is HMAC if you wish to use secret key.
  • Generate the Hash: Click "Generate SHA1 Hash" to create the hash value right away.
  • Copy and Use: Use the hash to verify file integrity, store as a fingerprint, or for other applications.

Practical Applications of SHA1

  • File Integrity Verification: Check the file to ensure that original and SHA1 hashed are the same.
  • Digital Signatures: Ensure the authenticity of documents by using SHA1 hash.
  • Password Storage: Store hash passwords into the database but please use SHA256 or 512 for newer systems in order to make it more secure.

    Array:

    [111,15,219,252,140,59,226,202,212,12,175,128,3,88,84,114,145,173,112,172]

Security Note

While SHA1 is faster and widely supported, we think that using SHA256 or SHA512 is a better option. These kinds of strong algorithms are better to use it in order to protect the data. Our website also supports to create hex or array output for those algorithms as well.
