This article explains the Cryptography present in GTA IV.

Hash Algorithms

GTA IV relies on many different hash algorithms work its operation, each for a different purpose. GTA IV's new usage of hashing has allowed it to explore a more binary focused way of hiding data in files, and strings away from plain site.

SHA1

The SHA1 hashing algorithm is used when comparing the files in versions 1.0 and 1.0.1. This check was later removed in 1.0.2.
