## Cryptographic hash functions
[Cryptographic hash functions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function) take data strings of any length (like a text message or file) and output a fixed-size code, a "hash digest," which is often abbreviated as either "digest" or "hash." A hash digest acts like a unique identifier for the original data.
