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