👉 Cryptolith is a term used in cryptography to describe an algorithm that encrypts data using a cryptographic hash function. Cryptographic hashes, also known as hash functions or hash functions, are mathematical functions that take a piece of data and produce a fixed-length output that can be compared to the input to determine if it has been altered. The process involves breaking down the original data into smaller chunks, applying an algorithm, and then combining those chunks back together in a way that makes them identical to the input.
