I need to convert a variable length string of length 60 – 100 characters into a 16 character unique string. Please note that the input will be unique as well. Is there some existing hashing algorithm i can use? Or is there another way this can be achieved?
Variable length 60 string unique can be a lot more than 16 length strings.
So a general, good algorithm is not possible. It is like generate from each letter unique ( a-z) a digit (0-9)
