SHA Algorithm Information
SHA-1 (160-bit)
- • Legacy algorithm, deprecated for security
- • Fast but vulnerable to collision attacks
- • Still used for non-security applications
- • Output: 40 hexadecimal characters
SHA-256 (256-bit)
- • Most commonly used secure hash
- • Good balance of security and performance
- • Used in Bitcoin and many cryptocurrencies
- • Output: 64 hexadecimal characters
SHA-384 (384-bit)
- • Higher security than SHA-256
- • Truncated version of SHA-512
- • Good for high-security applications
- • Output: 96 hexadecimal characters
SHA-512 (512-bit)
- • Highest security level
- • Slower but most secure
- • Recommended for sensitive data
- • Output: 128 hexadecimal characters
Use Cases
• File integrity verification
• Password storage (with salt)
• Digital signatures
• Blockchain applications
• Data deduplication
• Checksum generation
