Note that encryption is not the same as a [[:Category:Checksums|checksum]].
With encryption, the derived data carries an encrypted form of the original data, and can be manipulated to recreate the original input.
A checksum is simply a sequence of characters
(usually just a few characters in length)
that cannot be converted back to the original form
(because more than one input can have the same checksum).
