A hash algorithm is a one-way cryptographic algorithm that produces a fixed-length output (hash) which represents the original data, but cannot be used to recover the original data. It is often used for data integrity checks and password storage. Key and block algorithms are used for encryption and decryption, while digest algorithms combine encryption and hashing techniques.
