  @doc """
  Generates a cryptographic hash.

  Computes a hash using the specified algorithm and applies optional transformations,
  such as case formatting.

  ## Parameters

  - `hash_type` - The hashing algorithm to use (e.g., `:md5`, `:sha`, `:sha256`).
  - `options` - A list of options to modify the hash output.

  ## Options

  The accepted options are:

  - `:case` - Determines whether the hash is returned in lowercase or uppercase.

  The values for `:case` can be:

  - `:lower` - uses lower case characters (default)
  - `:upper` - uses upper case characters
