Security Recommendations

Current Best Practices: Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new applications. Avoid MD5 and SHA-1 for security-critical purposes.
Deprecated: MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and should only be used for checksums, not security.
Recommended: SHA-256, SHA-512, and SHA-3 provide strong cryptographic security for modern applications.
