A mathematical algorithm that takes a data input of arbitrary size (often called the “message”) and produces a new fixed-sized enciphered output text called a “hash”. Cryptographic hash functions are deterministic, meaning processing the same message will always result in the same hash. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin utilizes the SHA-256 hash function, and Ethereum uses Keccak-256.
