cryptographic hashing? - ANS-SHA-256
What hash function should you consider using for high security
environments, though it may have less support? - ANS-SHA3-256
What hash function should you use for very large messages? - ANS-
BLAKE2
What two hash functions should you avoid, as they're now
considered unsecure? - ANS-MD5 and SHA1
What is the difference between hash functions and checksum
functions? - ANS-Hash functions have stronger collision resistance,
checksums are faster. Checksums are not useful for security.
