Generate SHA hash values from text. Supports SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms.
SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a family of cryptographic hash functions. SHA-256 and SHA-512 are widely used in security, blockchain, digital certificates, and integrity verification.
SHA-1 produces 160 bits and is considered insecure. SHA-256 produces 256 bits and is the current standard for most applications. SHA-512 produces 512 bits and offers greater security at a performance cost.
Use SHA-256 for integrity verification, digital signatures, and hashing sensitive data. SHA-512 is recommended when performance is not critical and maximum security is needed.
