HAVAL Hashes
The HAVAL hashes (also termed fingerprints) are typically represented as 32-, 40-, 48-, 56- or 64-digit hexadecimal numbers. The following demonstrates a 43-byte ASCII input and the corresponding HAVAL hash (256 bits, 5 passes):
HAVAL("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", 256, 5) = b89c551cdfe2e06dbd4cea2be1bc7d557416c58ebb4d07cbc94e49f710c55be4Even a small change in the message will (with overwhelming probability) result in a completely different hash, e.g. changing the letter d to a c produces the following hash value:
HAVAL("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cog", 256, 5) = 60983bb8c8f49ad3bea29899b78cd741f4c96e911bbc272e5550a4f195a4077eThe hash of a zero-length string is:
HAVAL("", 256, 5) = be417bb4dd5cfb76c7126f4f8eeb1553a449039307b1a3cd451dbfdc0fbbe330Read more about this topic: HAVAL
