    SHA Signature Checker

    Verify SHA checksums for files and text to ensure data integrity

    How to Use

    1. Enter or paste the text you want to hash
    2. Select the SHA algorithm (SHA-256 recommended)
    3. View the computed hash result
    4. Optionally enter an expected hash to verify a match

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is SHA?

    SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) generates a fixed-size hash value from input data. It's commonly used to verify file integrity and detect unauthorized modifications.

    Which algorithm should I use?

    SHA-256 is recommended for most uses. SHA-1 is legacy and no longer secure. SHA-384 and SHA-512 offer higher security but are slower.

    Are hashes case-sensitive?

    No, hashes are case-insensitive when comparing. 'ABC123' and 'abc123' are considered the same hash value.
