How do I implement hashing in my project?

To implement hashing, you first need to choose a hashing algorithm like SHA-256 or bcrypt. What programming language are you using?

I'm using Python. Can you show me an example?

Sure! You can use the hashlib library in Python. Here's a simple example:

import hashlib

# Create a hash object
hash_object = hashlib.sha256()

# Update the hash object with the bytes-like object
hash_object.update(b'Hello World')

# Get the hexadecimal representation of the hash
hex_dig = hash_object.hexdigest()
print(hex_dig)

What if I want to hash passwords?

For hashing passwords, it's better to use a library like bcrypt which adds a salt to the hash. Would you like an example of that?
