 Secure Hash Algorithm
The family of SHA (blocked algorithm of parasitic information) is a whole of relative cryptographic functions of parasitic information.
The algorithms of SHA were designed by the agency of national safety (NSA) and published like normalizes government of the USA.
The first member of the family, published in 1993, is called officially SHA; however, this is often called Sha-0 to avoid confusion with its successors.

 Securing Electronic Transactions Using SHA-1 Secure Hash Algorithm - Maxim/Dallas
Of course, it is critical that the complex mathematical algorithm used is not reversible, since the attacker could run the operation in reverse and derive the secret.
In fact, the choice of algorithm may be the single most important factor in judging the security of a challenge and response scheme.
When a secure token is used in monetary applications, the data it contains (presumably the account balance) is said to be dynamic, because the critical value is read, debited, and rewritten each time the device is used.

 Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, a cryptographic hash function is a hash function with certain additional security properties to make it suitable for use as a primitive in various information security applications, such as authentication and message integrity.
If used for security, they are vulnerable to attack; for example, a CRC was used for message integrity in the WEP encryption standard, but an attack was readily discovered which exploited the linearity of the checksum specified.
The SHA hash functions are a series of functions developed by the NSA: SHA, also known as SHA-0, SHA-1 and four flavours of a function known as SHA-2.

Hash can calculate the hash value for a single file, for files in an entire directory, files in an entire path, or files on an entire logical drive, or drives.
The hash of a file can be used as a verification of the state of a file at a certain time.
HASH defaults to calculate the hash values of all files in the current default directory, and all sub-directories.

 Kryptographie FAQ: Frage 100: What is the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA and SHA-1)?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), the algorithm specified in the Secure Hash Standard (SHS), was developed by NIST (see Question 146) and published as a federal information processing standard (FIPS PUB 180) [NIS93a].
The algorithm is slightly slower than MD5 (see Question 99), but the larger message digest makes it more secure against brute-force collision and inversion attacks (see Question 96).
SHA is part of the Capstone project (see Question 150).

 NIST ANNOUNCES TECHNICAL CORRECTION TO SECURE HASH STANDARD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Secure Hash Standard, adopted as a federal information processing standard (FIPS 180) in May 1993, can be used for computing a digital signature and remains a highly secure way to ensure the integrity and authenticity of data used in electronic mail, electronic funds transfer, software distribution and data storage applications.
Researchers at the National Security Agency, who developed the formula and discovered the flaw in a continuing evaluation process, now believe that although the formula in FIPS 180 is less secure than originally thought, it is still extremely reliable as a technical computer security mechanism.
The Secure Hash Standard specifies a secure hash algorithm for computing a condensed representation of a message or data file.

 Open Source (BSD Licensed) Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) Implementations in C by Aaron Gifford, including SHA-1, SHA-224, ...
WHAT IT IS: The files sha2.h and sha2.c implement the SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash algorithms as described in the PDF documents found at the http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/shs/sha256-384-512.pdf http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-2/FIPS180-2_changenotice.pdf The interface is similar to the interface to SHA-1 found in the OpenSSL library.
The file sha2prog.c is a simple program that accepts input from either STDIN or reads one or more files specified on the command line, and then generates the specified hash (either SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, any combination thereof, or all four hashes at once).
WARNING: Some of the test output hashes are NOT from NIST's documentation and are the output of this implementation and so may be incorrect.
