SHA-256 is a SHA-2 hash function that calculates a fixed-length digest for text. It is commonly used for integrity checks and debugging. It is not encryption and cannot decrypt a digest back to the original text.
How is SHA-256 different from encryption?
Hashing produces a one-way digest for integrity comparisons. Encryption uses a key and is designed to be reversible. SHA-256 alone does not keep content confidential and is not a password storage scheme.
