Hash Value (also called as Hashes or Checksum) is a string value (of specific length), which is the result of calculation of a Hashing Algorithm. Hash Values have different uses:

  1. Indexing for Hash Tables
  2. Determine the Integrity of any Data (which can be a file, folder, email, attachments, downloads etc).
