SHA-256 - Secure Hash Algorithm 256

SHA-256 or Secure Hash Algorithm 256 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value, This output is considered to be a very strong cryptographic hash and is widely used in various security applications.

A cryptographic hash function is a mathematical function that takes input data and produces a fixed-size output (often called a hash or message digest) that is unique to the input data. The output is typically a sequence of numbers and letters that represents a digital fingerprint of the input data.

It is used in various applications, such as password storage, digital signatures, and blockchain technology, compression, deduplication, and to ensure the integrity and security of data.

Performing SHA-256 online can have several advantages:

• Convenience: Online SHA-256 tools allow users to quickly and easily hash their data without needing to install any software or use the command line. This makes it convenient for users who need to perform SHA-256 on an ad-hoc basis.
• Accessibility: Online SHA-256 tools are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, making it easy for users to hash their data from any device or location.
• Security: Using a trusted online SHA-256 tool can provide an added layer of security, as the tool can be designed to prevent the user's data from being intercepted or modified during the hashing process.
• Efficiency: Online SHA-256 tools can often hash large amounts of data quickly, which can be useful for users who need to hash large datasets or files.
• Cost: Online SHA-256 tools are often available for free or at a low cost, which can be cost-effective for users who only need to hash data occasionally or on a small scale.
