Frequently asked questions
Is SHA-512 more secure than SHA-256?
Both are unbroken. SHA-512 has a larger output (512 bits) and is often faster on 64-bit CPUs; SHA-256 is more widely published. Either is fine for integrity checks.
What is SHA-384?
A truncated SHA-512 variant with different initial values, producing 96 hex characters. It is common in TLS cipher suites and Subresource Integrity (integrity="sha384-…").
How do I compute it on the command line?
Linux: sha512sum file. macOS: shasum -a 512 file. Windows: Get-FileHash file -Algorithm SHA512.
