Encryption vs hashing– breaking down the differences

Encryption vs hashing– breaking down the differences

 

Encryption and hashing are the two fundamental techniques of the digital landscape. These are used to protect the integrity and authenticity of data so that threat actors don’t steal or intercept it. At first glance, these two terms may seem the same, which is why many people use them interchangeably. However, they serve distinct purposes and operate in entirely different ways. While encryption is used when you want to secure data by making it unreadable to unauthorized users, hashing does the job of verifying data integrity by generating a unique fingerprint.

Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, and the safety of the digital space is taking a toll because of it. Over the past few months, cybersecurity experts have noticed a new phishing scam tactic in which bad actors send fake meeting invitations that redirect the invitees to phishing websites. These invites look exactly like the original Google invites, and even the phishing website is cloned so well that it’s difficult to catch its fakeness. Since the counterfeit platforms are flawless, the success rate of these attacks is extremely high; users are entering sensitive details and downloading malicious links without batting their eyes.
