Hashing and encryption are two different security mechanisms used to protect data. Hashing is a one-way process used to convert data of any size into a fixed length output called a hash. It is used to verify the integrity of data by comparing the generated hash with the original data. Encryption is a two-way process used to convert data into an encrypted format using a key. It is used to keep data secure by making it unreadable and therefore preventing unauthorized access.
