Encryption Standards vs Hashing Algorithms
Developers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches meets developers should learn hashing algorithms to implement secure systems, such as storing passwords by hashing them instead of plain text to prevent data breaches. Here's our take.
Encryption Standards
Developers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches
Encryption Standards
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches
Pros
- +For example, implementing AES for encrypting stored data, RSA for secure key exchange, or TLS for securing web traffic ensures compliance with security regulations and builds trust with users
- +Related to: aes, rsa
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Hashing Algorithms
Developers should learn hashing algorithms to implement secure systems, such as storing passwords by hashing them instead of plain text to prevent data breaches
Pros
- +They are essential for verifying data integrity in downloads, blockchain technology, and digital signatures, ensuring that files or messages have not been tampered with
- +Related to: cryptography, data-structures
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Encryption Standards if: You want for example, implementing aes for encrypting stored data, rsa for secure key exchange, or tls for securing web traffic ensures compliance with security regulations and builds trust with users and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Hashing Algorithms if: You prioritize they are essential for verifying data integrity in downloads, blockchain technology, and digital signatures, ensuring that files or messages have not been tampered with over what Encryption Standards offers.
