SHA Hash Function
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is a family of cryptographic hash functions standardized by NIST starting in 1993. SHA functions produce fixed-length digests from arbitrary-length input data, serving as a fundamental building block for digital signatures, message authentication, and data integrity verification across security-critical applications.
