Cryptographic hash function: Applications, Properties & Use in building other cryptographic primitives

A cryptographic hash function (CHF) is a hash algorithm (a map of an arbitrary binary string to a binary string with a fixed size of n {\displaystyle n} bits) that has special properties desirable for cryptographic applications.
