hashing algorithm
A hashing algorithm is a mathematical function that converts an input (such as a password or message) into a fixed-length string of characters (hash) in a way that is designed to be irreversible, meaning it is difficult to derive the input data from the output hash. These algorithms are commonly used for secure storage and transmission of sensitive information.
