Italian verb for "to hash" in computer?

Question

I'm looking for a single verb that translates *to hash* in the context of computers. Eg.> Passwords in the database are **hashed** with SHA256that translated is something like> Le password nel database sono _____ con SHA256Some verbs I was thinking about, but don't really fit: - `criptate (encrypted)` I think this is more a two-way function, crypted text can be decripted, but hashed text cannot. - `offuscate (obfuscated)` This is something hidden, but as above can be made clear - `oscurate (darkened)` Maybe this is the best choice even if it's very similar to `offuscate` - **Edit:** also `cifrate`. But isn't this the same as `criptate`?

Answer 1

If we go to the meaning of this verb in Italian, 'hash' means tritare, sminuzzare, annientare,ridurre in poltiglia which in English means chop, dice,mash agglomerate. Remember that the meaning of each word can be used in an appropriate situation as its possible context, as we see in the case of the verb to hash. For Italian language the basic computational functions are copiare (copy ) incollare (paste), tagliare (cut),eliminare (delete), it doesn't use tritare, ridurre poltiglia (hash). The reason is because the ambiguity of the action meaning that is making mush elements, something undefined and confused.

Answer 2

The most technical answer would be "criptata" as a hash function is pertinent to cryptography

Answer 3

I would suggest simply : "le password nel database sono sottoposte a hashing con SHA256S." I don't think there is really a comparable word in Italian for this term.
