Free SHA-512/256 generator

The SHA-512/256 Generator by SoftIndi allows you to compute secure 256-bit hashes using the SHA-512 hashing engine. As part of the SHA-2 family defined by NIST, SHA-512/256 offers a compact digest size (like SHA-256) with the performance and security advantages of SHA-512’s 64-bit architecture. SHA-512/256 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 256-bit (64-character) hexadecimal output using the full compression function of SHA-512. It’s ideal for systems that require SHA-256-length output but want to leverage SHA-512’s enhanced resistance to collision and preimage attacks.SHA-512/256 is not interchangeable with SHA-256, though both produce the same digest size. It is most effective in systems built around SHA-512 optimizations, such as 64-bit CPUs and high-performance backends. With SoftIndi’s SHA-512/256 Generator, you get a modern, lightweight cryptographic tool that combines efficiency, privacy, and strong security - no installs, no tracking, and no third-party dependencies.
