What is SHA-2 Hash?

SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. They are built using the Merkle–Damgård structure, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.

The SHA-2 family consists of six hash functions with digests (hash values) that are 224, 256, 384 or 512 bits: SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256.

SHA-256

Produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. This is one of the most popular hash functions used in SSL/TLS, Bitcoin, and software verification.

SHA-512

Produces a 512-bit (64-byte) hash value. It is more secure than SHA-256 and often faster on 64-bit systems.
