Category:Encryption

Tasks in this category have to do with encrypting data using various algorithms.

Note that encryption is not the same as a checksum. With encryption, the derived data carries and encrypted form of the original data, and can be manipulated to recreate the original input. A checksum is simply a sequence of characters (usually just a few characters in length) that cannot be converted back to the original form (because more than one input can have the same checksum).
