Cryptography. A hash is a function which transforms any number or string into a fixed size output which is impossible to do in reverse without trying all possible inputs. As an example of a simple hash function, consider the square root: the square root of 17202 is easy to calculate - it's about 131.15639519291463, so a simple hash function might be the later digits of this, 9291463. However, given just 9291463 it's much harder to figure out what number it came from, and you basically have to go through all the possibilities. Modern cryptographic hashes like SHA-256 are a much more complex....
