Can you differentiate among encoding, encryption and hashing?

Encoding: Basically encoding is used to protect the integrity of data as it crosses through communication network to keep its original message upon arriving. It is primarily an insecure function because it is easily reversible.

Encryption: Encryption is basically designed for confidentiality and data integrity and reversible only if you have the appropriate key.

Hashing: With hashing the operation is one-way i.e. non-reversible. It takes an input (or ‘message’) and returns a fixed-size string, which is called the hash value.
