Comparison of cryptographic hash functions

The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of cryptographic hash functions. See the individual functions' articles for further information. This article is not all-inclusive or necessarily up-to-date. An overview of hash function security/cryptanalysis can be found at hash function security summary.

Basic general information about the cryptographic hash functions: year, designer, references, etc.

The following tables compare technical information for compression functions of cryptographic hash functions. The information comes from the specifications, please refer to them for more details.
