สรุป	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.	A digital signature scheme provides authentication, integrity assurance, and non-repudiation of electronically signed documents. Using public-key cryptography (such as RSA, DSA, or ECDSA), the originator signs a message with a private key in a way that any recipient can verify the signature using the originator's public key, proving that the message was created by the claimed author and has not been tampered with.
