CHash Description

A few times I've seen implementations of individual hashing algorithms, and thought it may be a good idea to group them together in an easy to use class. Well, here it is. What are hashes anyway? Hashes are a string of letters/numbers. They are used as a representation of an amount of data, but they are one way, you cannot go from a hash back to the original data; as hashes are fixed length, you also cannot determine the length or amount of the data represented. This lends hashes to practical security uses, as well as integrity uses. Why use hashes? There are multiple uses for hashes, the main one being data integrity. For example, a P2P client would use hashes to validate a file on completion, to check it's not corrupt or "fake". In this way, by generating a hash of a file, you can compare it against another hash, and check whether the files are the same.
