Everyone thinks encryption and hashing are same, but there is so much difference between them which we will see next.


While both techniques are essential for protecting data, they serve distinct purposes. In this post, we'll delve into the disparities between encryption and hashing, exploring their applications and providing practical code examples.





Encryption:


Encryption is a process that transforms readable data into an unreadable format, commonly known as ciphertext. This conversion is reversible, meaning that the ciphertext can be decrypted …
