Sorry, I re-read my post. I meant the elements are *hashed. Hashing means passing something through a one way function like a message digest. A hash acts as a statistic or code that can be generated given a piece of data, but that cannot be used to figure out the original message. It's similar to encrypting, except that when you encrypt something, you also have a way to decrypt it. In this case, we see if a particular nevent matches by just hashing it and checking to see if the result is the same as what we recorded for an undesirable nevent. Sorry for the typo!
