−	'''SHA-256''' is a hash function in the '''SHA-2''' family. '''SHA''' stands for '''Secure Hash Algorithm''' and refers to a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. The cryptographic hash function, a basic tool of modern cryptography, is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a bit array of a fixed size ("hash"). A hash is like a signature for a data set. '''SHA-256''' uses 32-byte words. In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design.	+	'''SHA-256''' is a hash function in the '''SHA-2''' family. '''SHA''' stands for '''Secure Hash Algorithm''' and refers to a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. The cryptographic hash function, a basic tool of modern cryptography, is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a bit array of a fixed size ("hash"). A hash is like a signature or fingerprint for a data set. '''SHA-256''' uses 32-byte words. In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. '''SHA-256''' is considered a "one-way" function and thus is suitable for checking the integrity of data.
