SHA-1 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 1, a cryptographic hash function developed by the NSA that can be used to verify that a file has been unaltered. In this video, we go over the basic features and common implementations of cryptographic hash functions before diving into the inner workings of a Javascript implementation of the SHA-1 function. Although out of use now, walking through the hash function code provides valuable insight into how these algorithms work.
