Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cryptographic hash function takes an arbitrary block of data and returns
A
fixed size bit string
B
variable size bit string
C
both fixed size bit string and variable size bit string
D
variable sized byte string
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cryptographic hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an arbitrary block of data and returns a fixed-size bit string. This output is known as the hash value or message digest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cryptographic Hash Function transforms an arbitrary length of a fixed length string that act more or less as a Fingerprint of the documenta)Trueb)FalseCorrect answer is option ‘B’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most cryptographic hash functions are designed to take a string of any length as input and produce a fixed-length hash value.
