In [[cryptography]], there are several methods to use a [[block cipher]] to build a [[cryptographic hash function]]. The methods resembles the [[block cipher modes of operation]] usually used for encryption. Three such methods to turn any normal block cipher into a hash are '''Davies-Meyer''', '''Matyas-Meyer-Oseas''' and '''Miyaguchi-Preneel'''. They are described in detail further down.
