Nov 23	comment	How can I create a fixed length output in my hash function? Thanks for this answer - it's really helped clear up for me how you could truncate the data. I'm a little confused at how modern day algorithms would go about this (presumably it'd need to be a lot more secure than just adding up the first four digits) - but I guess this isn't something I should be thinking about yet :P So you can truncate data using methods such as adding their 'values', but how would you go about creating filler content for content smaller than the hash? (Since it can't be random)
