Cryptography Basics: Understanding Hash Functions 🔐

This tutorial discusses a fundamental data integrity tool for secure web connections and password storage: hash functions. Learn about their objectives and applications and compare to encryption. Hash values are efficient, consistent and hard to trick or break, which makes them ideal for ensuring data integrity.

In the full course, you will learn how and when to use hash functions and symmetric and asymmetric ciphers, as well as the basics of information security through instruction on the fundamentals and real-life applications of each concept.
