One-way Hash
PCIComplianceHubLast updated
A cryptographic function that takes an input and produces a fixed-size output, often referred to as a hash, which is unique for each unique input. One-way hashes are designed to be irreversible, making it difficult to determine the original input from the hash value. In the context of PCI DSS, one-way hashing can be used to protect stored cardholder data by rendering it unreadable.
