The Difference Between SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-256 Hash Algorithms 🔐

If you have heard about “SHA” in its many forms, but are not totally sure what it’s an acronym for or why it’s important, we’re going to try to shine a little bit of light on that here today. 🌈

Before we can get to SHA itself though, we need to run through what a hash is, and then we’ll get into how SSL certificates use hashes to form digital signatures. 🌐

These are critical concepts to understand before you’ll be able to follow what SHA-1 and SHA-2 are. ☝🏻
