SHA
(Secure Hash Algorithm)
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is a family of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency (NSA). It is widely used to ensure data integrity and security by generating a unique hash value for input data.
SHA variants like SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-3 are used in applications such as digital signatures, certificate generation, and blockchain technology. SHA-256, for example, is a core component of Bitcoin's blockchain. SHA algorithms are critical for maintaining data authenticity and preventing tampering in secure systems.
