Hash functions are quick ways to compress large infor- mation into a single number.
This number can be in either decimal, binary, or hexadecimal.
There are multiple ways to create a hash.
Some hashes are sponges.
Sponge hashes are functions that suck up data while compressing.
Others simply create a dictionary and store data [5].
These types of hashes are either dictionary hashes or compression hashes
