What Is SHA-256
What is SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2 - 256 bit)?
✍: FYIcenter.com
SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2 - 256 bits) is a hash function, developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
SHA-256 is of the two SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) hash functions. It produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. This hash value is known as a message digest. This message digest is usually then rendered as a hexadecimal number which is 63 digits long.
The other SHA-2 hash function is called SHA-512, which It produces a 512-bit (64-byte) hash value.
