Detailed explanation-1: -The hash size for the SHA1 algorithm is 160 bits.
Detailed explanation-2: -SHA is an algorithm designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by NIST as FIPS PUB 180. Designed for use with the Digital Signature Standard (DSS), SHA produces a 160-bit hash value.
Detailed explanation-3: -SHA-1 produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest. A SHA-1 hash value is typically rendered as a hexadecimal number, 40 digits long.
Detailed explanation-4: -SHA1 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 1. It is a cryptographic hash function that takes an input and generates a message digest, which is a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value that is generally represented as a hexadecimal integer with 40 digits.
