SHA-512 is part of the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash functions designed by the NSA. SHA-512/256 is a truncated version of SHA-512 that provides 256-bit security with better performance on 64-bit systems compared to SHA-256.
✅ Security Approved: SHA-512 and SHA-512/256 are considered cryptographically secure and are recommended for security-sensitive applications, including digital signatures, certificates, and data integrity verification.
| Parameter | SHA-512 | SHA-512/256 |
|---|---|---|
| Output Size | 512 bits | 256 bits |
| Block Size | 1024 bits | 1024 bits |
| Word Size | 64 bits | 64 bits |
| Rounds | 80 | 80 |
| Security Level | 256-bit | 256-bit |
Used in SSL/TLS certificates and document signing
Verify file integrity and detect corruption
