About SHA-256

SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a member of the SHA-2 family designed by the NSA. It is widely considered secure.

Use Cases

  • File Integrity: Checksums that confirm a download or release file has not changed. (For password storage, use a slow algorithm such as Argon2, bcrypt or scrypt, not plain SHA-256.)
  • Digital Signatures: Verifying authenticity of documents.
  • Blockchain: Bitcoin uses SHA-256 for proof-of-work.
