Decoding the intricacies of hashing and PGP' — Ever wondered how your passwords are safely stored? How do you ascertain the integrity of a file sent from another party? Today’s episode decrypts the world of hashing and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), empowering you with essential knowledge on data security. We explore the core mechanisms of hashing, comparing it with encryption, and detailing its integral role in password storage. We navigate through popular hashing functions — MD5, SHA1, SHA2, and SHA3 — and illustrate the combined function of hashing, salting, and peppering to securely store passwords. Get ready for an enlightening scenario that brings these concepts to life!

Our exploration doesn’t stop here. We march towards the realm of PGP, a cryptographic software package that has become vital for both email encryption and file integrity. This episode is laden with some of the best resources to kickstart your journey with PGP.  As we delve deeper into the subject, we also investigate PBKDF (Password-Based Key Derivation Function) and its significance in security. By the end of this episode, you’ll be equipped with a wealth of insights on hashing and PGP, marking a significant step in your understanding of data security. Stay tuned, follow us on Twitter, and let's unravel the mysteries of security together!
