Cryptographic hash algorithm
At object creation, HCP uses a cryptographic hash algorithm to calculate a hash value for the object from the object data. HCP then uses this hash value to ensure the integrity of the object over time.
HCP supports these cryptographic hash algorithms:
- MD5
- SHA-1
- SHA-256
- SHA-384
- SHA-512
- RIPEMD-160
The cryptographic hash algorithm HCP uses for a namespace is set when the namespace is created. Once set, it cannot be changed.
