Research the different hash algorithms (Message Digest, SecureHash Algorithm, and RIPMD) and then compare them. Do a write up onthe each one of them (3 paragraphs total). Be sure to include thesize of the digest, the number of rounds needed to create the hash,block size, who created it, what previous hash it was derived from,and its strengths and weaknesses. For your fourth paragraph, pickone hash algorithm and explain what you would use it for and whyyou would prefer to use that hash.
Be creative. I am looking for thoughtful responses, they do notnecessarily have to be true.
