Introduction
After implementing hashing via AES 256 (read here), one can conclude that since we can hash and unhash data, hence the encrypted data can be decrypted anyhow, and our data can be stolen. In a special scenario, where you don’t need decryption and just need hashing of data, we use SHA256 Encryption. It has a very important role in Blockchain. In this article, we will learn Encrypting Data in SAP UI5 using SHA256.
What is SHA 256?
The full form of SHA is the Secure Hash Algorithm, and SHA 256 is part of the series SHA Encryption. SHA256 always give result in the form of 256 characters for any type of input.
Can we decrypt the data of SHA 256?
SHA 256 are one-way of encryption, and the encrypted values cannot be decrypted. In case you find some online portals decrypting your hash, then it would mean that they have saved some hashes in their db and just returning the values that they have saved with it.
