The hashing function is a one-way mathematical function. This means that it can be used to encode data, but it cannot decode data. Its primary purpose is not to encrypt the ciphertext; rather, its primary purpose is to prove that the message in the ciphertext has not changed in any way, shape or form. This is also referred to as “message integrity.” If the mathematical function has changed in any way, the message has then changed.
