Cryptographic Hashing Algorithms

A cryptographic hashing function is a class of hash function that has properties which make it suitable for use in cryptography. The hash function is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a bit string of a fixed size (a hash) and is designed to be a one-way function, that is, a function which is infeasible to invert.

LoginRadius Platform uses these cryptographic hash algorithms to store sensitive data such as password, security questions, etc. into the cloud database. It provides highest level of security on the critical data points.
