Hash is not encryption, it is the way a word, or message is changed into a unrecognized pattern.

What does MD5 encryption mean?

You are probably referring to the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm which is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces 128-bit (16-byte) hash values. A hash function is an algorithm that takes a block of data and creates a string of data (hash) of fixed length. By running the algorithm on a received block of data, a user should be able to detect whether the data has been altered because a given block of data should always yield the same hash unless it has been altered. Ideally a hash function will allow easy computation of the hash value for any given message but make it hard to start with the hash value and come up with a message that will yield that hash value. It should also be so difficult to modify a message without changing the hash that the time and effort necessary to do it exceeds the value of doing it and extremely difficult or impractical to find two different messages with the same hash. Note that by its nature the MD5 hash is not supposed to allow you to recover the message that was processed. Usually when we use the word "encryption" we are talking about a process where a message is converted to something called "cyphertext" which is unreadable unless you have the right algorithm and key to decrypt it and convert it back to the original message. In this respect it is more accurate to refer to "MD5 hashing" rather than MD5 encryption. See the attached link for more details on the MD5 hash.


How do you decyrpt the MD5 hash string?

The MD5 hash algorithm is a cryptographic hash function, not an encryption method. A cryptographic hash function converts a message of variable length to a fixed size of 'hash,' usually done to check the integrity and authenticity of the original message, and not transmit the message itself in a unreadable encrypted way. The message is also sent ALONG with the hash, usually to ensure that the original message has not been altered en route. Thus it does not have enough information to actually retrieve the message itself. (although it can if the size of the message is the size of the hash, it is never the case.) Decrypting the MD5 hash string will not yield the information that was used for its creation anyways.


If you forget your password can you get it back?

Generally speaking, no. The way secure websites and programs store passwords is in a hash, not plaintext. When you submit your password, the password you give is encrypted and compared to the stored password hash you originally gave. Since the encryption cannot be undone, your original password cannot be provided to you.

What is hash key?

hash key is an element in the hash table. it is the data that you will combine (mathematical) with hash function to produce the hash.

What difference does it make if you remove a period in a hash?

It makes a big difference because if you compared the hash: abcde.fg = hash 1 to abcdefg = hash 3 The results hash 1 and hash 3 are not equal.
