| MD5 Hash Signatures |
| MD5 was designed by Ron Rivest in 1991 and is commonly used to check the integrity of files. MD stands for Message Digest, this being the 5th in the series. Although recently, it has been demonstrated that the algorithm can be broken, it is still considered largely secure for this purpose. |

|
| SHA1 Hash Signatures |
| SHA1 was designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm, this being the second in the series. Like MD5, vulnerabilities in the algorithm have been demonstrated. |
