SHA – 256 algorithm is used in blockchain to get a constant hash of 256 bits every time. This algorithm is also a part of encryption technology. Now 512-bit input is added with 256-bit IV to get a total of 768 bit. This 768 bit is passed through a compression function ‘c’ to get an output of 256 bits only.
