 ### Hashes ###
 [Hash]: #hashes
 
-Many objects in Ripple, particularly transactions and ledgers, are uniquely identified by a 64-bit hash value. This value is typically calculated as a "SHA-512Half", which calculates a SHA-512 hash from some contents, then takes the first 64 characters of the hexadecimal representation. Since the hash of an object is derived from the contents in a way that is extremely unlikely to produce collisions, two objects with the same hash can be considered identical.
