SHA-256 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit and is a cryptographic hash function widely used in blockchain technologies and various security applications to encrypt data. It transforms any input into a unique 256-bit fixed-size hash, which is virtually impossible to reverse-engineer. This makes it critical for ensuring data integrity and security across numerous applications. If you're looking for a detailed explanation of how SHA-256 works and its applications, this link might help: https://paybis.com/blog/glossary/what-is-sha-256/ It offers a comprehensive look at its role in securing digital transactions and data.
