SHA-512 (Secure Hash Algorithm 512) is a cryptographic hashing algorithm that generates a fixed-length (512-bit) "digest" from variable-length input data. It is part of the SHA-2 family and provides a higher level of security compared to SHA-256, making it more resistant to collision and preimage attacks. Due to its larger output size, SHA-512 is commonly used in applications requiring enhanced cryptographic strength, such as digital signatures, secure password hashing, and high-security cryptographic protocols. However, it requires more computational resources, making it more suitable for 64-bit systems and high-performance environments.
