+<h2>SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5</h2>
+<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1">SHA-1</a> and
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2">SHA-256</a> are popular
+cryptographic message digests. They can be used to detect accidental
+corruption, intentional modification, and can be used as unique identifiers for
+a file. The chance of there existing multiple files with the same hash is
+effectively zero due to random chance; the chance of somebody having
+intentionally created files with the same hash depends on the strength of the
+hash function.
+
+<p><b>SHA-256</b> is considered "strong" today and used in new software.

+cryptographically secure, but is no longer considered secure in that context.
+It is still perfectly adequate for detecting accidental file corruption.
