Our online Converter will help you SHA384, SHA512, SHA512/224, SHA512/256 data encryption.
SHA512 is a hash function from the family of SHA-2 and it is intended to create a "fingerprint" or "digest" for messages of arbitrary length, used in different applications or components related to the protection of information.
SHA-256 and SHA-512, and to a lesser extent, SHA-224 and SHA-384 are prone to attacks of extension lengths, making it unsafe for certain applications, this is why it is recommended to switch to SHA-3 for 512-bit hashes, and to use SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 instead of SHA-224 and SHA-256.
SHA-256 and SHA-512 are new hash functions computed with 32-bit and 64-bit words respectively, they use different numbers of shift and additive constants, but their structures are otherwise virtually identical, differing only in the number of rounds.
SHA-224 and SHA-384 is a truncated version of the first two, computed with different initial values, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 are also truncated versions of SHA-512, but the initial values are generated using the method described in Federal information processing standards (FIPS) PUB 180-4.
