Message Digest

Get Certified Get Ahead

The result of applying a cryptographic hash function to data (e.g., a message). Also known as a “message digest”. 

See the following for more information: 
NIST SP 800-106 under Hash value. 
NIST SP 800-175B Rev. 1 under Hash value. 
NIST SP 800-107 Rev. 1
 under Message digest. 
 
A hash that uniquely identifies data. Changing a single bit in the data stream used to generate the message digest will yield a completely different message digest. 

See NIST SP 800-86 under Message Digest for more information. 
 
A crytpographic checksum, typically generated for a file that can be used to detect changes to the file. Synonyous with hash value/result. 

See NISTIR 8011 Vol. 3 under Message Digest for more information. 

A digital signature that uniquely identifies data and has the property that changing a single bit in the data will cause a completely different message digest to be generated. 

See the following under Message Digest for more information:

The result of applying a hash function to a message.
