Hash formula used to generate the entities hash list.
| Parameter | Value | Parameter description |
|---|---|---|
| Hashing algorithm | SHA256 | Determine the desired hashing algorithm |
| Salt | IFC | Salt is a set of characters used to increase the complexity of the original hashed content |
| Iteration | 1 | Number of times that the hash should be rehashed |
| Length | 64 | The number of characters in the generated hashes |
Examples of the input and output of the hashing function.
| Input (entity) | Output (SHA256 hash) |
|---|---|
