ruby on rails - What is the difference between a token and a digest? -
i'm learning authenticating users in rails , concept of tokens , digests keep reappearing. think understand general idea of purposes in general, don't understand difference between two.

- digest hashed string
a cryptographic hash function procedure takes data , return fixed bit string: hash value, known digest. hash functions called one-way functions, easy compute digest message, infeasible generate message digest.
