Hashing is the process of deriving fixed-length strings from arbitrary-length data. It is generally used to represent data in a more compact and consistent format. In this episode we discuss the process of cryptographic hashing, hash functions and their characteristics. We also discuss the usage of hashing in blockchains and merkle trees.
