Hash Algorithms

+
+In the Volume Creation Wizard, in the password change dialog window, and in the Keyfile Generator dialog window, you can select a hash algorithm. A user-selected hash algorithm is used by the VeraCrypt Random Number Generator as a pseudorandom "mixing" function, + and by the header key derivation function (HMAC based on a hash function, as specified in PKCS #5 v2.0) as a pseudorandom function. When creating a new volume, the Random Number Generator generates the master key, secondary key (XTS mode), and salt. For more + information, please see the section +Random Number Generator and section +Header Key Derivation, Salt, and Iteration Count.
+
+VeraCrypt currently supports the following hash algorithms:
