Explanation: For the purpose of this section, "hash function" means the acts of mapping of algorithm or translating of a sequence of bits into another, generally smaller, set yielding the same hash result from any record in the same form while executing the algorithm each and every time by using the same record as an input, infeasible to derive or reconstruct any record from the hash result produced by the algorithm from the computation point of view, and making the two records, which produce the same hash result by using the algorithm, computationally infeasible to derive. (3) Any person may verify the electronic record by using the public key of the subscriber. 6
