SHA-256 Implementation in Python

This repository contains a Python implementation of the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function. SHA-256 is part of the SHA-2 family, widely used in various security protocols and applications for ensuring data integrity and security.

Features

• Pure Python: The implementation is written entirely in Python.
• Educational: Provides a clear, step-by-step explanation of the SHA-256 algorithm.
• Reusable: Can be easily integrated into other Python projects.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/hikmetazimzade/SHA256-Python.git
   cd SHA256-Python

2. Install dependencies

   There are no external dependencies required for this implementation.

Example

Here is a simple example to demonstrate the usage:

import processing_blocks

if __name__ == '__main__':
    plain_text = "Hello World"
    process_blocks = processing_blocks.Process_Block(plain_text)
    hash_output = process_blocks.get_hash_output()

    print("Hash Output=", hash_output)
