| Definition: |
-
noun. Hashed personal information refers to personal data that has been transformed using a cryptographic algorithm called a hash function. This transformation produces a unique string of characters, known as a hash value or hash code. The purpose of hashing personal information is to protect the original data by making it unintelligible and more secure. In this process, the original data cannot be derived from the hash value, and any changes made to the original data will result in a completely different hash value. This technique is commonly used for storing passwords, as it allows verification of user credentials without storing the actual password in plain text. GPT3.5
