History and Usage
SHA-2 was published in 2001 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. SHA-2 is significantly more secure than its predecessor, SHA-1, due to its larger digest sizes and stronger hash functions. Its enhanced security features have led to widespread adoption in government and financial industry standards for data integrity and authentication purposes.
How to Use:
- Enter the text you wish to hash in the "Text to Hash" field.
- Click the "Hash" button to generate the SHA-256 hash.
- The hashed text will be displayed in the "Hashed Text" field.
Common Use Cases:
- Securing transactions and data on blockchain networks.
- Authentication of software packages and digital signatures.
- SSL/TLS for secure web communications.
- General data integrity verification to prevent tampering.
