SHA256 Encrypt and Verify

About SHA-256 Encrypt Verifier

The SHA-256 Encrypt Verifier allows you to generate and verify SHA-256 hashes for text or file content. This tool provides a secure and efficient way to handle cryptographic hashes for data integrity and password protection. It supports multiple input encodings and allows users to copy and verify the hash results easily.

How to Use SHA-256 Encrypt Verifier?

1. Choose between "Encrypt" and "Verify" tabs based on your needs.
2. For encryption:
• Enter the text you want to encrypt in the input field.
• Select the appropriate input encoding (UTF-8, ASCII, or Base64).
• Click the "Generate SHA256 Hash" button to create the hash.
• The resulting SHA256 hash will be displayed in the output field.
• Use the copy button to easily copy the hash to your clipboard.
3. For verification:
• Enter the original text in the "Text to Verify" field.
• Enter the SHA256 hash you want to verify in the "SHA256 Hash to Verify" field.
• Click the "Verify SHA256 Hash" button to check if the hash matches the text.
• The verification result will be displayed below the button.
4. Use the Reset button to clear all inputs and outputs.

Key Features and Tips

• SHA256 produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value, making it highly secure.
• It's commonly used for digital signatures, file integrity verification, and password hashing.
• SHA256 is more secure than SHA224 and is part of the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash functions.
• The input encoding options (UTF-8, ASCII, or Base64) ensure accurate handling of different input types.
• Always verify important hashes using the original source to maintain data integrity.
• Even a small change in the input data will result in a completely different hash output.
