Which hash verification algorithm is explicitly supported by Decryption Collection?

• A. SHA-1
• B. SHA-256
• C. CRC32
• D. MD5

Answer: (D)

Hash verification is about creating a fixed-length digest of a file to confirm it hasn’t changed since it was captured or received. Decryption Collection provides a built-in check that explicitly supports MD5, meaning you can generate and verify MD5 hashes directly within the tool. MD5 has been widely used in forensic workflows because it’s fast and broadly compatible with existing databases of known-good hashes. While SHA-1 and SHA-256 are stronger cryptographically, the question focuses on what this tool explicitly supports, and the documentation confirms MD5. CRC32 is a simple checksum used for error detection, not cryptographic integrity, so it isn’t suitable for forensic hash verification.
