Firewalls are not the correct answer. The correct term is "Digest," which refers to the output of any input that has been processed through a hashing algorithm/function.
Digest
Digest is the correct answer.
To arrive at this answer, you can start by understanding what a hashing algorithm or function does. A hashing algorithm is a mathematical function that takes an input (referred to as the "message") and produces a fixed-size string of characters (referred to as the "hash" or "digest"). This process is known as hashing.
When an input is processed through a hashing algorithm, the output is always a digest. The key property of a hashing algorithm is that it is deterministic, meaning that for a given input, it will always produce the same output (digest). This allows for quick and efficient verification of data integrity.
So, in summary, the output obtained from any input that has been processed through a hashing algorithm or function is called a digest.
