Editing HAVAL (section)

==HAVAL hashes==
The HAVAL hashes (also termed ''fingerprints'') are typically represented as 32-, 40-, 48-, 56- or 64-digit [[hexadecimal]] numbers. The following demonstrates a 43-byte [[ASCII]] input and the corresponding HAVAL hash (256 bits, 5 passes):

 HAVAL("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy {{Background color|#87CEEB|d}}og", 256, 5) =
 b89c551cdfe2e06dbd4cea2be1bc7d557416c58ebb4d07cbc94e49f710c55be4

Even a small change in the message will (with overwhelming probability) result in a completely different hash, e.g. changing the letter {{mono|d}} to a {{mono|c}} produces the following hash value:

 HAVAL("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy {{Background color|#87CEEB|c}}og", 256, 5) =
 60983bb8c8f49ad3bea29899b78cd741f4c96e911bbc272e5550a4f195a4077e

The hash of a zero-length string is:

 HAVAL("", 256, 5) =
