About SHA-256

SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. It's considered a much more secure alternative to SHA-1.

Why Use SHA-256?

  • Data Integrity: Verify data hasn't been altered.
  • Digital Signatures: Used in digital signature algorithms.
  • Blockchain Technology: Fundamental to many blockchain implementations.

Examples

Example 1: Input: "Hello, world!" Output: (SHA-256 hash)
