In terms of general usage, they all do pretty much the same. they compute a checksum for a file, allow to compare checksums, and can tell whether 2 files are the same or not. The only difference is the algorithm used. To the best of my knowledge, sum and chksum use pretty general algorithms, while md5sum and sha1sum/sha256sum use cryptographically secure algorithms.

SHA1SUM(1)							   User Commands							SHA1SUM(1)

NAME
sha1sum - compute and check SHA1 message digest SYNOPSIS
sha1sum [OPTION]... [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Print or check SHA1 (160-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. -b, --binary read in binary mode -c, --check read SHA1 sums from the FILEs and check them --tag create a BSD-style checksum -t, --text read in text mode (default) The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums: --ignore-missing don't fail or report status for missing files --quiet don't print OK for each successfully verified file --status don't output anything, status code shows success --strict exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines -w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-1. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and name for each FILE. BUGS
Do not use the SHA-1 algorithm for security related purposes. Instead, use an SHA-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs sha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1), or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1) AUTHOR
