Title:
Which is safer hashing or encrypting?
Hi all,
I use encryption to store users passwords in tables (I encrypt the password with the password itself as the key). I wonder if I store the MD5 or SHA1 or anyother hashed string of the password is as safe as encrypting it; for me it's easier to use hashing as I can do direct comparisons.
Regards,
Javier B.
