/fuh-REN-zik hash VAIR-ih-fih-kay-shun/

Also known as: image hashing, integrity hash

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Forensic hash verification uses cryptographic hashes (like SHA-256) to prove a disk image or file has not changed since acquisition.

Real-World Example

If the SHA-256 of an evidence image still matches the acquisition log months later, integrity is supported.
