WHAT IS HASHING?
When it comes to dealing with huge amounts of data, hash functions are essential tools in computer science. Cryptocurrency, password security, and message security can all be secured with the hash functions.
The original data is called
input and the final transformation is called a
hash (output). Creating the output from the input is quite easy, but it is relatively difficult to go in the opposite direction. The more difficult it is to find the input, the more secure the hashing algorithm is considered to be.
Hashing plays a key role in blockchain management, it:
✓produces cryptographic links between each block and creates a blockchain;
✓generates new addresses and keys;
✓secures information.
