Important Notes
File size can affect the speed of hash value calculation. Please be patient.
About the SHA-384 File Hash Checksum
The SHA-384 File Hash Checksum allows for quick and precise calculation of SHA-384 hashes, providing professional-grade file hash generation services to ensure file security and integrity.
Note: SHA-384 is a cryptographic hash algorithm, part of the SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) family. The SHA-2 family includes several versions, with SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 being the most commonly used. These algorithms were designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and are published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
• Features
Security: SHA-384 offers high security, suitable for scenarios that require longer hash values for enhanced protection.
Efficiency: Although slower than SHA-256 due to longer output, SHA-384 still performs exceptionally well on modern hardware.
Compatibility: Widely supported across various programming languages and cryptographic libraries.
• Use Cases
Digital Signatures: SHA-384 is commonly used to generate part of digital signatures. In this process, the SHA-384 hash of a file or message is calculated and encrypted with the sender's private key, and can later be verified with the sender's public key to confirm the signature and message integrity.
Certificate Authorities (CAs): When issuing SSL/TLS certificates, CAs use SHA-384 to hash certificate information to ensure its security.
Software Distribution: Software developers often provide the SHA-384 hash of software packages to verify the integrity and authenticity of downloaded files.
Secure Storage: Although specially designed hash functions like bcrypt and Argon2 are more recommended for password storage, SHA-384 can still be used to generate encrypted hash values to help securely store passwords.
Blockchain Technology: In some blockchain implementations, SHA-384 is used to enhance security by generating unique hash values for transactions and blocks to ensure the integrity of the chain.
