Definition:
  1. noun. A hashed MAC address refers to a modified and encrypted form of a device's unique MAC address (Media Access Control address). A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface, such as a computer's Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter. To preserve privacy, many organizations and protocols use hashed MAC addresses instead of the original ones. The process of hashing involves applying a mathematical algorithm to the MAC address, resulting in a transformed and non-reversible string of characters. This transformed value can be used for identification or tracking purposes while maintaining the anonymity of the device and its user. GPT3.5
