So, not being able to go back is 'theoretical' right... there has to be a way. Because if there werent, wouldent that be the ultimate encryption... oh wait, its not encryption though... because you cant go back, so sending it would be useless... ok, gotcha.

Thanks !
Note, theoretically(Mathmetically) it is possible to get the original string back, but with the current computing power available it is considered computationally in-feasible.

Yes a hash function is not "Encryption". The use of encryption and hash function is different, though encryption algorithm uses "one way hash" for keys also public key cryptography uses "one way hash".


Hope this helps.
