Use of hash functions relies on statistical properties of key and function interaction: worst case behavior is intolerably bad with a vanishingly small probability, and average case behavior can be nearly optimal (minimal collisions).<ref>Knuth, D. 1973, The Art of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Sorting and Searching, p.527. Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA., United States</ref>
 
Hash functions are related to (and often confused with) [[checksums]], [[check digit]]s, [[Fingerprint (computing)|fingerprints]], [[lossy compression]], [[randomization function]]s, [[Error correction code|error-correcting codes]], and [[cipher]]s. Although the concepts overlap to some extent, each one has its own uses and requirements and is designed and optimized differently.
