No. Hash functions can be used outside of symmetric encryption. Which is the wording I used. In any case, the overall point remains. Short of the one time pad

In any case, the overall point remains. Short of the one time pad you can’t build a provably flawless scheme.
- GTP 3y agoThey can be used outside symmetric encryption, e.g. in signature schemes, but the hashing primitives are part of symmetric cryptography.
- galeaspablo 3y agoAgain, I didn’t say symmetric cryptography :)
- GTP 3y agoYou talked about symmetric encryption.
