Pure Rust implementation of the SHA-2 cryptographic hash algorithms.
There are 6 standard algorithms specified in the SHA-2 standard:
Sha224, Sha256, Sha512_224, Sha512_256, Sha384, and Sha512.
Algorithmically, there are only 2 core algorithms: SHA-256 and SHA-512. All other algorithms are just applications of these with different initial hash values, and truncated to different digest bit lengths. The first two algorithms in the list are based on SHA-256, while the last four are based on SHA-512.
use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};

let hash = Sha256::digest(b"hello world");

use hex_literal::hex;
let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
hasher.update(b"hello world");
let hash256 = hasher.finalize();
