SHA2

The SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) hash functions were designed by the NSA. SHA-2 includes significant changes from its predecessor, SHA-1. The SHA-2 family consists of hash functions with digests (hash values) that are 224, 256, 384 or 512 bits: SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512. SHA2 lives in the Hashing category of the fx menu. See SHA-2 for format details.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Size	string	no	[object Object]	Choose one of: [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object].
Rounds	number	no	64	Numeric value. Default 64.
Rounds	number	no	160	Numeric value. Default 160.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the SHA2 transformation.

Limitations

• This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.
• Wrong key, algorithm options, or malformed input typically raises an evaluation error — fix Input or options before re-running.

Example

Run SHA2

The SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) hash functions were designed by the NSA. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review Size, Rounds, Rounds and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value shows the transformed result.
