Software developers and security researchers use these hashes (like SHA-256) to ensure that a file has not been tampered with. An "updated" hash usually indicates a new software patch, a security fix, or a refreshed data set where the underlying code has changed, resulting in a completely different unique signature. Blockchain and Smart Contracts

SSH, OpenPGP, and Tor Hidden Services (v2) use long hashed identifiers. For example, a Tor v2 onion address was 16 characters from a 80-bit hash encoded in base-32. Not this long.
