Tasks in this category have to do with encrypting data using various algorithms.
Note that encryption is not the same as a. With encryption, the derived data carries and 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 input can have the same checksum).
