# Assessment 8

#### What does it mean for a hash function to be deterministic?

* [x] The same input produces the same output hash every time
* [ ] The output hash changes every time
* [ ] The input message is difficult to find
* [ ] The hash function is reversible

**Notes to Learners**

In other words, hash functions are deterministic -- the same input produces the same output hash every time.
