encryption - How to hash/encrypt a string to protect private information but still make the string comparable -
given string how create unique identifier / hash string 1 can track occurence of string without logging original string.
for example url "www.mylittlesecret.com" should show "xyz123" (hascode string). url translates xyz123 xyz123 1 can't determine url.
sorry if wrong terms. happy read more "hashing" if provide me right keywords.
if use hash algorithm sha1 desired behavior. not able reconstruct url hash, can compare hashes , see if urls same or not.
but if wants find out urls have subjected dictionary attacks, users takes list of known web sites , sees if hashes matches. might watch out for.
