What is Hashing?

Hashing is the process of converting an input of any length into a fix size string of text.
It uses a mathematical function.
In our case, we'll take the plain text password as input
The algorithm to encrypt the password is called a hash function
It produces the hash value for the user's password
The formula we'll be using is SHA512

This is a one-way encryption where you can never reverse to the original value.
