What kind of hashing algorithm used to generate 12 character length alphanumeric?

for example stackoverflow use 2 keys to store cookies

s=............  (#intention开发者_开发技巧ally replace with . because its a session cookies)

How does that hashing algorithm looks like?

"Each is a base64-encoded 128-bit (presumably random) number, with the trailing == removed."
