No, this statement is incorrect. While IdentityNow does use TLS (Transport Layer Security) for securing data in transit, TLS is not a hashing algorithm; it is a protocol used for encryption to ensure secure communication over networks. Additionally, IdentityNow uses hashing algorithms for securely storing passwords and answers to security questions (e.g., SHA-256 or bcrypt), but it does not use TLS for hashing these values. Hashing algorithms are one-way functions that help store sensitive data securely by converting them into irreversible fixed-length representations.
TLS protects data during transmission by encrypting it, while hashing is used for securing stored data such as passwords.
