At object creation, HCP uses a cryptographic hash algorithm to calculate a hash value for the object from the object data. HCP then uses this hash value to ensure the integrity of the object over time.
HCP supports these cryptographic hash algorithms:
MD5
SHA-1
SHA-256
SHA-384
SHA-512
RIPEMD-160
The cryptographic hash algorithm HCP uses for a namespace is set when the namespace is created. Once set, it cannot be changed.
