Hashing

Hashing is a fundamental concept in computer science involving the use of a mathematical function (a hash function) to map data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size value, known as a hash or a hash code. This transformation is typically one-way, meaning it is computationally infeasible to reverse the process and recover the original data from the hash value alone. Hash functions are designed to be deterministic, ensuring that the same input always produces the same output.
