Irreversible encryption is useful in authentication. For example, a password might be irreversibly encrypted and the resulting ciphertext stored. A password presented later would be irreversibly encrypted identically and the two strings of ciphertext compared. If they are identical, the presented password is correct. 1, record 1, English, - irreversible%20encryption

chiffrement produisant un cryptogramme à partir duquel les données originelles ne peuvent être reconstituées 1, record 1, French, - chiffrement%20irr%C3%A9versible
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le chiffrement irréversible est utilisé en particulier au cours des procédures d'authentification. Par exemple, un mot de passe est chiffré de façon irréversible, et le cryptogramme ainsi obtenu est stocké. Un mot de passe introduit ultérieurement sera alors chiffré de façon identique, et les deux cryptogrammes seront comparés. S'ils sont identiques, le mot de passe introduit est correct. 1, record 1, French, - chiffrement%20irr%C3%A9versible
