Valuable Insights

About SHA-256

SHA-256 is a member of the SHA-2 cryptographic hash family and is considered one of the most secure hashing algorithms available today.

Security Features

Cryptographically Secure
Designed to be computationally infeasible to reverse
Collision Resistant
Extremely unlikely two different inputs produce the same hash
Deterministic
Same input always produces the same hash output
Avalanche Effect
Small input changes result in drastically different hashes

Common Use Cases

Secure Password Storage
Hash passwords before storing in databases
File Integrity Verification
Verify files haven't been corrupted or tampered with
Digital Signatures
Create unique fingerprints for digital documents
Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies
Foundation of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies
