& Lt; hash function under Openssl & gt;

Hash function: an irreversible function. Its input can be a byte stream of any length. Its output is of a fixed size. The hash function is used to generate a digest for your file. It is unique.

For example, y = f (x) x indicates that input y indicates that output x is used to calculate y, which is difficult to calculate x by inputting y.

Our common hash functions MD5 and SHA1 are rare.

DM5: Usually 128 bits 16 bytes

Sha1: generally 160 bits, 8 bits, 20 bytes.

 

[Root @ redhat ~] # Md5sum/etc/passwd // There are also commands in linux to calculate the md5 value of the file
C79a0c2c792891374595009e6155435c/etc/passwd


[Root @ redhat ~] # Openssl dgst-md5/etc/passwd
MD5 (/etc/passwd) = c79a0c2c792891374595009e6155435c

 

 

[Root @ redhat ~] # Openssl dgst-sha1/etc/passwd
SHA1 (/etc/passwd) = b4e99419a91a3908e5e5c9c07a0d91c408c1a008

 

 

[Root @ redhat ~] # Sha1sum/etc/passwd
B4e99419a91a3908e5e5c9c07a0d91c408c1a008/etc/passwd

-The hash values provided by the-c parameter to the output are separated:

[Root @ redhat ~] # Openssl dgst-sha1-c/etc/passwd
SHA1 (/etc/passwd) = b4: e9: 94: 19: a9: 1a: 39: 08: e5: e5: c9: c0: 7a: 0d: 91: c4: 08: c1: a0: 08

 

You can also use md5 to verify the integrity of the file. If a byte of the file changes, the hash value changes over the ground.

Generally, MD5 and sha1 values are released on some official websites to prevent software packages from being tampered.
