Could you please clarify what hashing a message entails? Is it a process that involves transforming a message into a fixed-length string of numbers and letters using a mathematical function, ensuring that the original message cannot be retrieved from the hash? Is it a security measure that helps to verify the integrity of the message and prevent tampering? How does it work, and what are some of the common hashing algorithms used in the cryptocurrency and finance industry?

Shouldn't I always be using HTTPS when engaging in online transactions, especially those related to cryptocurrency and finance? I understand that HTTPS provides an added layer of security by encrypting the data transmitted between my device and the server. Is it SAFE to assume that if a website doesn't use HTTPS, it's not secure enough for me to conduct financial transactions or store my personal information? Additionally, how can I identify if a website is using HTTPS? Is there a specific symbol or indicator that I should look for?

Hello there, I'm curious about the safety of RewardPay's payment system. Could you elaborate on how RewardPay ensures the security of my credit card information? Specifically, I'd like to know more about the encryption methods used to store my card details in the RewardPay wallet, and how tokenisation works to protect my payments. Additionally, I'm interested in knowing if RewardPay adheres to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) for added security measures. Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Could you please elaborate on what a hashed email appears to be? I'm curious to know if it's a recognizable format or if it's just a seemingly random string of characters. Does it maintain any semblance of the original email address, or is it completely transformed? Additionally, are there any common characteristics that one should be aware of when encountering a hashed email for the first time? I'm eager to gain a better understanding of this cryptographic concept.
