SHA-256(Source Code in C#) - Part I

-

SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm), is one of the cryptographic hash function, commonly used in Blockchain. It generates an almost-unique 256-bit (32-byte) signature for a text. 

SHA-256 is successor hash functions to SHA-1. it is one of the strongest hash functions available and has not yet been compromised in any way.  

Here is source code written in C#. I will try to give more details in next Part II

Cryptography Types Cryptography categorized based on number of keys used for encryption and decryption; in this article we will discuss below three types Secret Key Cryptography - It is also call symmetric encryption where for both encryption and decryption uses same key. This is mainly used for confidentiality. Public Key Cryptography - It is also called asymmetric encryption ; this algorithm uses two key's one for encryption and one for decryption. mainly used for authentication. Hash Function - It uses to convert to text in such way that the input cannot be recoverable by using mathematical function.
