SHA-256.spin - The Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-256, mainly written in PASM. About 230kB/s throughput.
SHA-256 is a cryptographic hash function that maps arbitrary bit strings to a 256 bit (32 byte) hash value. This version (like many) is limited to byte strings (a multiple of an octet).
Due to collision attacks a 256 bit hash function has a strength of 2^128, not 2^256.
Example/test file provided ("SHA-test.spin") to demonstrate use. Bytes can be input individually or as byte vectors up to a maximum of over 10^18 bytes. When the hash is calculated and returned the state is reset automatically for the next use.
