(ii) A Hash function. Under the Explanation to section 3(2), a hash function is an algorithm that maps one sequence of bits into another, generally smaller, set, called the hash result. Running the algorithm on the same electronic record always produces the same hash result. It must also be computationally infeasible to work back from the hash result to the record, and for two different records to produce the same hash result.
