Windows Benchmark: SHA-256 Hashing (x25)
Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2) is a family of widely used cryptographic hash functions. SHA-256, its most popular variant, produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. It is commonly used to verify the integrity of data. This benchmark measures the time taken to hash 25 strings using the SHA-256 algorithm.
