What is SHA-256?
SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a cryptographic hash function belonging to the SHA-2 family, designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA). It transforms any arbitrary input text into a deterministic, fixed-length 64-character hexadecimal digest.
Key Security Properties
- One-Way Function: It is computationally infeasible to invert or deduce the original plaintext from the generated hash.
- Collision Resistance: No two distinct inputs are known to produce the same SHA-256 hash.
- Avalanche Effect: Changing even a single character in the input completely alters the resulting hash digest.
