The size of the file and the last date modified are also displayed. +The last feature helps you to compare the calculated hash with another given hash but more generally, you can compare any hashes by just pasting them. + +A hash (also called checksum or digest) is a digital fingerprint, uniquely identifying a string or a file. +Hash functions are often used in cryptography to generate strong passwords. They are also employed to check the integrity of files. +Hash Droid is often used to check an Android ROM before flashing it. + +Feel free to send feebacks, comments or suggestions about this application. + +Hash Droid is published under the GPLv3 (GNU General Public License version 3).
