TLDRCryptographic Hash Functions are a class of hash functions that are cryptographically secure. From password authentication and integrity verification to blockchain—these functions are used in a multitude of applications. In this tutorial, we'll start by reviewing the basics of blockchain, and the relevance of cryptographic hash functions in making a blockchain secure. We'll then go over what cryptographic hash functions are, and their properties. Additionally, we'll also see how to write code to obtain hashes, in both Python and Bash. via the TL;DR App
