Sha/md5 are all one way functions... if you manage to break it, let me know.

You did not know this was a hash function before posting?

It's not "encryption" in the first place. It doesn't contain the data that was put into it.

It is the output of a one way hash, then it could be consider "encrypting" since one way hash functions can be used for encryption (passwords are often "encrypted" with a one-way hash).

That is why is it called a "cryptosystem", with the sam "crypt" in "cryptosystem" that is also in "encryption".

I checked an NIST also used the term "encryption" to describe one-way hash functions with regard to "password encryption".

I suppose when looked at it this way, but when someone comes along and says "I've compressed all my files with md5sum, how do I get them back" they're screwed. Smilie
