About SHA-512/256
SHA-512/256 is a cryptographic hash function from the SHA-2 family. It is a truncated version of SHA-512, producing a 256-bit (64-character hexadecimal) hash value by taking the first 256 bits of the SHA-512 hash. This makes it suitable for applications requiring a balance between security and hash size.
SHA-512/256 retains much of the security of SHA-512 while providing a shorter hash output, similar to SHA-256 but with the internal state of SHA-512. It is considered secure against all known attacks and is particularly useful in systems where computational efficiency and security are both important.
Note:SHA-512/256 provides a good balance between security and performance. It is suitable for applications where a shorter hash is beneficial but the additional security margin of SHA-512 is desired.
Common Use Cases
- Applications requiring balanced security and performance
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency applications
- Secure communication protocols
- Storage-constrained environments
- Digital signatures where shorter size is advantageous
