Storing the hash of the plaintext and the encrypted plaintext next to each other [closed]

I generate a random string of 32 characters and then compute the SHA-512 hash then I encrypt the unhashed string. I then save the encrypted text and hash to the database. Is it okay to store the hash of the original text? Will it make the … Continue reading Storing the hash of the plaintext and the encrypted plaintext next to each other [closed]
