About this video
Hashing and encryption both secure data, but they serve different purposes! Hashing is one-way and ideal for integrity checks, while encryption is two-way and used for confidentiality. In this video, we break down their differences, use cases, and real-world examples. By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use each technique! 🚀
🔑 **Hashing:** Converts data into a fixed-length hash, irreversible and used for password storage.
📌 Example: SHA-256("password") → 5e88489f...
🔑 **Encryption:** Scrambles data using a key, reversible with decryption.
📌 Example: AES("password", key) → EncryptedText123==
