![]() If your calculated hash matches the message digest we provide, you are assured that the file was downloaded intact. ![]() To confirm file integrity, use a sha-1, sha-256, and/or a MD5 utility on your computer to calculate your own hash for files downloaded from the VMware web site. This enables you to verify that your downloaded files are unaltered from the original. VMware provides one or all of a sha-1 hash, a sha-256 hash, or an MD5 message digest for software downloads. The SHA hash functions are a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST as a U.S. The md5sum, sha1, and sha256 hash algorithms take a file as input and produce as output a message digest of the input, which is a highly unique fingerprint. VMware provides Cryptographic hashes on product download pages as a way for you to confirm the integrity of the files you download.
