ChatGPT For ensuring the integrity of sensitive files with a 128-bit hash value, you should choose option B, SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm). Specifically, you may consider using SHA-256, which produces a 256-bit hash value, but truncating it to the required 128-bit length if necessary. Option C (MD5) also produces a 128-bit hash value, but MD5 is considered weaker and more susceptible to collision attacks compared to SHA. Therefore, SHA is generally preferred for security purposes. So, the recommended choice is: B. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm)
