Hashing is a part of encryption, maybe you are the one who needs to shore up on the topic?

- aipatselarom 8mo agoNice try. However, hashing and encryption are two different operations. Load this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard Ctrl-F "hash". No mention of it. Before being pedantic at least check out the url in that comment to get the basics going.
- sowbug 8mo agoThis entire thread should be annihilated, but since you mentioned being pedantic... You're correct that a pure encryption algorithm doesn't use hashing. But real-world encryption systems will include an HMAC to detect whether messages were altered in transit. HMACs do use hash functions.
- AlotOfReading 8mo agoA good hash function is surjective. Encryption is bijective. They're very different things.
