About SHA-512/224

SHA-512/224 is a cryptographic hash function from the SHA-2 family. It is a truncated version of SHA-512, producing a 224-bit (56-character hexadecimal) hash value by taking the first 224 bits of the SHA-512 hash. This makes it suitable for applications requiring a shorter hash while maintaining high security.

Despite its shorter output, SHA-512/224 retains much of the security of SHA-512 and is considered secure against all known attacks. It is particularly useful in systems where storage or bandwidth for hash values is limited but strong security is still required.

Note:SHA-512/224 provides a good balance between security and hash size. It is suitable for applications where a shorter hash is beneficial but the full security of SHA-512 is still desired.

Common Use Cases

  • Applications requiring shorter hash outputs
  • Storage-constrained environments
  • Communication protocols with limited bandwidth
  • Digital signatures where shorter size is advantageous
  • Security systems requiring high collision resistance
