Hashing and Digital Signatures (w/ Zoom's API!) - Episode 13.6 | Apps Script ~ Utilities Service
Hey Coders! Even though you do your best to patch up and maintain the security of your database, there is still the chance some hacker will find a way to gain access to it. In that scenario, you'll need a mathematically proven way to protect sensitive data even if exposed. Try hash functions! Hash functions are a unique type of function that only allow encryption and are impossible to decrypt. This means that even if the output of a hash function (a digest) is compromised, there is no way the hacker can reverse engineer the digest to get the original sensitive data. Along with securing passwords, hash functions are also used in digital signatures, which are the "electronic fingerprints" of the web. Digital signatures are sent along with important messages and documents to verify the sender and fidelity of the message. If the message is ever tampered with, the receiver will know because the signature will not match the corresponding message's digest. This is used quite a lot in cryptography and information security. Be sure to watch this video to make your applications more secure!
