Industry:Software; Computer
The result of applying a cryptographic hash function to a message or other data. A cryptographically secure message digest cannot be transformed back into the original message and cannot (or is very unlikely to) be created from a different input. Message digests are used to ensure that a message has not been corrupted or altered. For example, they are used for this purpose in digital signatures. The digital signature includes a digest of the original message, and the recipient prepares their own digest of the received message. If the two digests are identical, then the recipient can be confident that the message has not been altered or corrupted.
