Root(-7) Hash Function

Root(-7) is a custom hash function designed to transform an input string into a fixed‑length (48 characters or 64 characters) hexadecimal hash. While experimental in nature, it explores alternative hashing approaches for educational and research purposes. Do not use in security‑critical applications until fully peer‑reviewed.

Security Notes

Collision Resistance

State whether the algorithm has been tested for collisions (include results if available).

Preimage Resistance

Mention if tested for difficulty of finding the original input from a given hash.

Known Weaknesses

If any, list them honestly (e.g., not recommended for production without further cryptanalysis).

Salt Support

Specify whether you use a random salt to prevent rainbow‑table attacks.

Hash Length

Mention fixed or variable output length.
