The function md5 encrypts a string :

 No, it does not encrypt a string. It hashes a string.


But how do we uncrypt a md5 string ?
function('5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592') --> hello


You cannot. It is impossible to go back to the original value.


In this case, what algo should I use ? Is there any encryption/decryption algo esay to use ?
