Explanation
A hash is an algorithm used to verify data integrity by generating a fixed-size string of characters from input data. If even a single bit of the input data changes, the hash value will change, allowing users to detect any modification to the data. Hashing algorithms like SHA-256 and MD5 are commonly used to ensure data has not been altered.
