From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   one-way hash function
  
      (Or "message digest function") A {one-way
      function} which takes a variable-length message and produces a
      fixed-length hash.   Given the hash it is computationally
      infeasible to find a message with that hash; in fact one can't
      determine any usable information about a message with that
      hash, not even a single bit.   For some one-way hash functions
      it's also computationally impossible to determine two messages
      which produce the same hash.
  
      A one-way hash function can be private or public, just like an
      {encryption} function.   {MD5}, {SHA} and {Snefru} are examples of
      public one-way hash functions.
  
      A public one-way hash function can be used to speed up a
      public-key {digital signature} system.   Rather than sign a
      long message, which can take a long time, compute the one-way
      hash of the message, and sign the hash.
