SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a cryptographic hash function widely used in Bitcoin. It plays a key role in Bitcoin’s security, mining, and transaction verification. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
What is SHA-256?
• Hash Function: It transforms an input of any length into a fixed 256-bit (32-byte) output, called a hash.
• Deterministic: The same input always produces the same output.
• One-way: It’s practically impossible to reverse the output back to the input.
• Collision-resistant: No two different inputs should produce the same hash.
• Efficient: It’s fast to compute the hash for any given input.
