One-way hash: A type of cryptographic hash function that takes an input and produces a fixed-size output, called a hash value or digest. It is designed to be one-way, meaning that it is computationally infeasible to determine the original input from the hash value. Examples include the SHA-256 and MD5 algorithms.
