Hash algorithm. A hash algorithm is a commonly used function for validating data integrity. The algorithm is applied against the source data (typically a file and its content) in order to generate a unique, hash value (often called a checksum). One approach for data-integrity verification is to generate a hash when the content is created or when it is shipped and, later, to generate another hash after the content has been received or after a period of storage. The hash values are compared and, if they match, this indicates that the data is intact and has not been altered.
