The Java Cryptographic services include signature, message digest, cipher, mac and key stores. The MessageDigest class supports message digest algorithms – MD2, MD5,SHA-1, SHA-256,SHA-384 and SHA-512. SHA-256 is a 256-bit hash function to provide 128 bits of security against collision attacks. SHA-512 is a 512 bit hash function to provide 256 bits of security. A […]
