How it works

SHA-512 pads input with a 128-bit length, processes 1024-bit blocks through 80 rounds on eight 64-bit words, and emits 512 bits. Rotations, shifts, and modular additions follow FIPS 180-4.

  • The wide digest suits strong fingerprints.
  • 64-bit words fit common implementations.

Worked example

When to use this

Package checksums, backups, and cryptography tests compute SHA-512.

Edge cases

  • Different text encodings produce different bytes.
  • Hashing is not encryption.
  • An unkeyed digest can be replaced with modified data.
