May 28, 2015 a cryptographic hash function compresses arbitrarily long messages to digests of a short and fixed length. The hash function used for the algorithm is usually the rabin fingerprint, designed to avoid collisions in 8bit character strings, but other suitable hash functions are also used.

Above algorithm is also known as multiplicative hash function. Given the popularity of the freexor technique, it is natural to ask what are the necessary assumptions based on which it can be proven secure. In general, the hash is much smaller than the input data, hence hash functions are sometimes called compression functions. If neither of the statements is true, it also returns false. A hash function h is a computationally efficient function that maps bitstrings of arbitrary length to bitstrings of fixed length, called hash values.
