Hashing and digital signatures
-
Hash functions provide a way to map a long string to a shorter fixed-length output string known as hash-value or digest. They were primarily used to compress large sets of data and build hash tables in data structures. Hashes and digital signatures are a vital part of cybersecurity. In this course, we’ll see the process of how the hashes are generated and the importance of digital signatures.
