Cryptographic Hash Function

What is Cryptographic Hash Function?

A mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size bit string (hash value). Hash functions are one-way, deterministic, and designed so that even a small change in input produces a dramatically different output.
