Question

Designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995. The size of a ________ hash value is 192 bits.

A) MD5

B) SHA-1

C) SHA-256

D) SHA-384

Answer 1

The SHA-1 hash function designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995 produces a 160-bit hash value, not 192 bits as stated in the question. The other hash functions mentioned have different bit lengths associated with their hash values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995, the size of a SHA-1 hash value is 192 bits. The correct answer is B) SHA-1. Each hash function is designed to produce a unique output (hash value) for a given input and the size of this output is a specific length for different hash functions. MD5 creates a 128-bit hash value, SHA-1 produces a 160-bit hash value, SHA-256 results in a 256-bit hash value, and SHA-384 outputs a 384-bit hash value.
