Getting to Know Hashes Cryptography in Golang

Hashes & Cryptography

The hash function takes a set of data and reduces it to a smaller fixed size. Hash is often used in programming for everything from searching data to easily detecting changes. The hash functions in Go are divided into two categories namely cryptographic and non-cryptographic. Non-cryptographic hash functions can be found under the hash package and include adler32, crc32, crc64 and fnv.
