Hash: SHA256

For deduplication, one needs a cheap, rolling hash [1].
Reliability, cryptographic security are not needed.
Au contrarie, it is a good thing that some inputs "clash" on zero - you choose 
your block boundaries there.

This way a single byte's change in the file results only the containing block's 
change and maybe the next block - but not more!
