You have been assigned the task of selecting a hash algorithm. The algorithm will be specifically used to ensure the integrity of certain sensitive files. It must use a 128 bit hash value. Which of the following should you use?
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)
