There is a lot of confusion between hash- and encryption algorithms; I would like to understand:

  1. When do we use a hash algorithm and when do we use aan encryption algorithm (a cipher)?
  2. How difficult it is to reverse hash- and encryption functionsalgorithms?
  3. From the theoretical/mathematical perspective, what differentiates a hash or- and encryption algorithm?

Differences between Hash & cryptography algorithmhash- and encryption algorithms?

There is a lot of confusion between hasheshash- and encryption algorithms andalgorithms; I would like to hear some more expert advice aboutunderstand:

  • When do we use hash and when do we use encryption?
  • How difficult is and longe it takes to reverse the function?
  • From the theoretical/mathematical perspective, what makes a hash or encryption algorithm different?
