WHAT IS A HASHING ALGORITHM A HAVAL160,4

HAVAL160,4 is a cryptographic message hashing algorithm that is used to ensure data integrity and protection against forgery. It is part of the HAVAL (HAsh of VAriable Length) family of hash functions developed in China in the late 1990s.

HAVAL160,4 generates a fixed length hash value of 160 bits (20 bytes) for a variable length input message. The number "4" in the name indicates the number of rounds that are used in the algorithm for data processing. HAVAL160,4 is considered safe to use for the time being, although it is no longer the most recommended hash algorithm as there are more modern and secure algorithms such as SHA-3 and BLAKE2.
