BitTorrent Info Hash (BTIH)

ID torrent_info_hash

DatatypeNot PIIidentifier

Identifier of a torrent: the hash of the bencoded info dictionary of its .torrent file. Version 1 torrents (BEP 3) use SHA-1, written as 40 hexadecimal digits, as in magnet:?xt=urn:btih: links; old magnet links may carry the same 20 bytes as 32 Base32 characters, which the regexp does not cover. Version 2 torrents (BEP 52) use a SHA-256 info hash, written as a multihash in urn:btmh: links.
