I thought MD4 was variable too, but I guess not!

Surprised to see HAVAL mentioned, didn't think it was that common.

MD5 and SHA are fixed length, right?

Definitely agree, HAVAL is flexible!

HAVAL can produce variable length hashes.

I feel like I saw a question about SHA and its fixed length in a practice exam, but I'm confused about the others.

HAVAL is definitely the one that can produce variable length hashes, I think it can be configured for different lengths.

I remember practicing with MD5 and MD4, but I can't recall if they produce variable lengths.

I think SHA produces a fixed length hash, but I'm not entirely sure about HAVAL.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the differences between MD5, SHA, and HAVAL, but I can't remember which one specifically produces a variable-length hash value. I'll have to review my notes and make an educated guess.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. MD5 and SHA are both fixed-length hash functions, so they're out. HAVAL is a variable-length hash algorithm, so that's my best guess.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know MD5 and SHA are commonly used hash functions, but I can't recall if they produce variable length outputs. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure HAVAL produces a variable length hash value, so I'll go with option C.

HAVAL? More like YOLO-val, am I right? Alright, time to make my best guess and hope for the best.

Variable length hashes? What is this, a choose your own adventure book? Just give me the fixed length option and let's move on!

MD5 and MD4 both produce fixed-length hashes, so those can't be the answer. I'm going with HAVAL.
ME
Merilyn

SHA also produces fixed-length hashes, so HAVAL is the only option left.
LA
Lavera

I agree, MD5 and MD4 produce fixed-length hashes.
HO

I think HAVAL is the correct answer.

Wait, I thought SHA produced a variable length hash value. Hmm, let me double-check that.

User 3: HAVAL is another hashing algorithm that produces a variable length hash value.

I'm not sure, but I think A) MD5 also produces variable length hash values.
EM
Emilio

I think option C, HAVAL, is the correct answer here. Didn't we cover that in class last week?
VA
Val

I think MD4 also produces a fixed length hash value.
SU

I agree with you, HAVAL does produce a variable length hash value.
DA
Daisy

I remember discussing MD5 as well, that could be the answer.
CE
Cecily

I'm not sure, but I think it might be SHA.
LO

I agree with Vonda, HAVAL is designed to produce hash values of different lengths.
VO

I think the answer is C) HAVAL because it can produce variable length hash values.
