Both are methods to hide the original contents of data in
some unrecognizable format.
But Encryption is Reversible Process while hashing is
irreversible process. It means Encrypted data can be
Decrypted to get the original data using encryption key but
hashed data cannot be retrieved since there will be no key
used in hashing.
