Hash calculation and validation software. TurboSFV is a utility for the calculation and validation of checksums for files.

With TurboSFV, you can calculate checksums (hash values) for your files. At a later time, you can validate the hash values to ensure, that the content of the files has not been changed.

Typical areas where hash values are used:

File transfer: Before sending files over the network, hash values can be calculated, which can be used to detect the alteration of data during the transfer.

Observing folders: Detect changed and missed files and find new files which were added to the folders after the creation of a checksum file. Page Analyze validation results describes the analysis capabilities of TurboSFV.

Storage mediums: The quality of a storage medium like a DVD can change. By using hash values, the integrity of stored files can be checked at any time and defective mediums can be detected and replaced.

Quality chain: Useful in companies or organizations, where any change of important data must be monitored and documented, to ensure the quality of the service. For example, if the final version of a software has been developed and passed the quality control, then the files should not be changed in subsequent processes. The control can be achieved with checksums.

But applications are not limited to software companies: hash values can be calculated for any kind of documents such as recipes, certificates or in the area of electronic data exchange or forensics, and can help to improve the quality control.

The following hash algorithms are currently supported:

CRC-32, MD5, SHA-1

XXH32, XXH64 (xxHash)

SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 including SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256

BLAKE2S-256, BLAKE2B-256, BLAKE2B-384 and BLAKE2B-512

SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384 and SHA3-512
