Lecture 5: Hashing Functions and Their Role in Blockchain Technology

This video provides an in-depth explanation of hashing functions and their critical role in blockchain technology. It covers how hashing ensures data integrity, security, and immutability within a blockchain, and highlights its importance in processes like mining, transaction validation, and maintaining decentralized networks. Through clear examples and simplified concepts, the video demonstrates how cryptographic hashing transforms input data into fixed-length strings, making it a fundamental element of blockchain's trustless and secure system.
