Hashing
Encryption
One-way function producing a fixed-size digest.
Definition
Hash functions map input data to a fixed-size digest. For passwords, specialized password hashing with salts and work factors reduces offline guessing.
In plain English
One-way function producing a fixed-size digest.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Poor hashing or missing salts can enable rapid cracking of leaked credentials.
Example
Example: Salted password hashing with a slow KDF (e.g., Argon2) to resist offline attacks.
