SHA Encrypt

Algorithm
Key

SHA encryption is a term that refers to a family of cryptographic hash functions that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of data. A hash function is a mathematical function that takes an input and produces a fixed-length output, called a hash or a digest, that is unique for each input. SHA encryption can be used to generate digital signatures, checksums, passwords and other security applications.

The SHA encryption family consists of several variants, such as SHA-0, SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-31. Each variant has a different output size and algorithm design. For example, SHA-0 and SHA-1 produce 160-bit hashes, while SHA-2 can produce 224, 256, 384 or 512-bit hashes. SHA-3 is based on a different structure than the previous variants and can produce hashes of any desired length1.

SHA encryption is widely used in various protocols and standards, such as SSL/TLS, PGP, SSH, IPSec and Bitcoin. However, some older variants of SHA encryption have been found to be vulnerable to attacks and collisions, which means that two different inputs can produce the same hash. Therefore, it is recommended to use the newer and more secure variants of SHA encryption, such as SHA-2 or SHA-32.

Fernet Cipher is a symmetric encryption method which makes sure that the message encrypted cannot be manipulated/read without the key. It uses URL safe encoding for the keys. Fernet uses 128-bit AES in CBC mode and PKCS7 padding, with HMAC using SHA256 for authentication.
