What is SHA-512?

SHA-512 is the 512-bit variant of the SHA-2 family and produces 128 hex characters. On 64-bit CPUs it is often faster than SHA-256 and is used in highly security-relevant applications like HMAC, password derivation and long-term archiving.

Security & collisions

SHA-512 provides double the hash length compared to SHA-256 — the security margin against brute-force and collision attacks is correspondingly higher. It is FIPS-certified and part of all modern crypto libraries (OpenSSL, Bouncy Castle, Web Crypto API).

Use cases

  • Verify file integrity (checksum)
  • Digital signatures and certificates
  • HMAC (message authentication)
  • Deterministic API keys and cache keys
