Can you please clarify whether hashing can indeed be reversed? The process of hashing involves converting data into a fixed-size alphanumeric string, but does this mean that it's possible to retrieve the original data from the hashed string? Are there any methods or techniques that have been discovered to reverse the hashing process? If so, what are the implications for data security and privacy in the cryptocurrency and finance industries?

This transformation is irreversible, meaning that the original data cannot be retrieved from the hash.

The primary use of hashing is to verify the integrity of data. By comparing the hash of the original data with the hash of the received data, users can confirm that the data has not been altered during transmission.
