Python hashlib Module:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To generate a message digest or secure hash from the source message, we can utilize the Python hashlib library.<\/p>\n

The hashlib module is required to generate a secure hash message in Python.<\/p>\n

The hashlib hashing function in Python takes a variable length of bytes and converts it to a fixed-length sequence. This function only works in one direction. This means that when you hash a message, you obtain a fixed-length sequence. However, those fixed-length sequences do not allow you to obtain the original message.<\/p>\n

A hash algorithm is considered better in cryptography if the original message cannot be decoded from the hash message. Changing one byte in the original message also has a big impact(change) on the message digest value.<\/p>\n

Python secure hash values are used to store encrypted passwords. So that even the application’s owner does not have access to the user’s password, passwords are matched when the user enters the password again, and the hash value is calculated and compared to the stored value.<\/p>\n
