About the SHA-224 File Hash Checksum

The SHA-224 File Hash Checksum helps you quickly and professionally generate SHA-224 hash values for files to verify their security and integrity. Note: SHA-224 (Secure Hash Algorithm 224) is part of the SHA-2 hash algorithm family, designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

• Features

Fixed-Length Output: Regardless of the size of the input data, SHA-224 always produces a 224-bit (28-byte) hash value. High Sensitivity: Any minor change in the input data leads to a significant change in the output hash value. Collision Resistance: It is extremely difficult to find two different inputs that produce the same hash value. Irreversible: The hash values cannot be used to reverse-engineer the original data. Fast Computation: Capable of quickly computing the hash value of given input data.

• Applications

File Verification: SHA-224 is used to verify that files remain intact and unmodified during download or transmission. By comparing the SHA-224 hash value of a file with the original hash value, you can detect any tampering. Digital Signatures: SHA-224 generates a message digest, which is then encrypted with the sender's private key. Recipients use the sender's public key to verify the integrity and origin of the message. Security Applications and Protocols: SHA-224 is a fundamental cryptographic component of many security protocols and applications such as TLS/SSL, SSH, IPSec, etc., ensuring safe data transmission. Cryptographic Storage: Although specialized algorithms (like bcrypt, Scrypt, or Argon2) designed for password storage are generally recommended, SHA-224 can also be used for the cryptographic hashing of sensitive information, especially when used in conjunction with a salt to enhance security.
