About SNEFRU256 hash

Snefru-256 Hash Description

Snefru-256 is a cryptographic hash function that processes input messages in 512-bit blocks and produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value, typically represented as a 64-character hexadecimal number.

How Snefru-256 Works:

  1. Message Padding: The input message is padded to a length that is a multiple of 512 bits, including space for the message length.
  2. Initialization: Snefru-256 initializes its internal state with specific constants and processes the padded message in 512-bit blocks.
  3. Compression Function: Each 512-bit block of the message undergoes multiple rounds of hashing using logical and bitwise operations to update the hash state.
  4. Final Hash Value: After processing all blocks, the resulting 256-bit hash value is the Snefru-256 hash of the input message.

Snefru-256 is designed to provide cryptographic security and is used in various applications for data integrity, message authentication, and digital signatures.
