Understanding the Difference Between Encryption and Hashing

🔐 Encryption vs. Hashing – What’s the Difference?

Encryption and hashing are two essential cybersecurity concepts, but they serve very different purposes. In this video, I break down:

✅ How encryption protects data confidentiality
✅ How hashing ensures data integrity
✅ The key differences between encryption and hashing
✅ A live demo showing the avalanche effect in action!

We’ll also explore real-world cybersecurity risks like hash collisions and Birthday Attacks, and discuss why outdated algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1 are no longer secure.
