Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
A hash value can be used to uniquely identify secret information. This requires that the hash function is collision resistant, which means that it is very hard to find data that generate the same hash value and thus it means that in hashing two different inputs will not yield the same output. Thus, the hash value must be equal to that displayed on the vendor site.
