Hashing algorithms create a fixed length of unique hash, and any data (texts/codes/movies/sounds/files...) can be encrypted into a hash. So is that mean we can transfer an infinite amount of data without needing big storage? If both sender and receiver computers have a hashing algo, can the sender transfer a movie of 1GB just sharing the hash and decrypt it on the receiver computer to get the file? If this is possible, is there any project working on this? |

Hey, I love that your curiosity brought forth this interesting question. However, the bummer is that this is precisely how file-compression has been (inclusive of the one we frequently use) since the 1970s! It solved the same problem of transmitting immense data remotely but more efficiently. As for the projects, you should google it; there are COUNTLESS sources (including numerous variations addressed via research papers) to look from as it has been there for quite some time. |
