How it works

SHA-384 pads input and uses the SHA-512 round function over 1024-bit blocks, then emits 384 bits from a distinct initial state. It is not simply a truncated SHA-512 result.

  • The shorter digest fits SHA-2 compatibility profiles.
  • Initial values distinguish it from SHA-512 truncation.

Worked example

Hash Text
Generate the SHA-384 digest of a string
Input
											hello
Output

When to use this

TLS signatures, file manifests, and compliance checks compute SHA-384.

Edge cases

  • One byte changes the result unpredictably.
  • Truncating SHA-512 does not reproduce SHA-384.
  • A digest alone does not authenticate data.
