  • I have encrypting information after saving data in database. I have take its data type in hashed data so it converting into hashed format automatically. Thats the problem and now i want to retrieve actual information

  • Hashing is typically a one-way operation. ie the original data cannot be obtained from the hashed value.

    Typically what happens is that the password the user enters is hashed and then the two hash values compared.
