Hash type

I wonder why most people still think passwords are being encrypted. They are hashed using a cryptographic hashing algorithm and not being encrypted.

ofcourse, some hashing algorithms like descrypt and bcrypt are based on the corresponding Block Cipher encryption algorithms.

@thorsheim: That's a good analogy Smile
