SHA-384 Generator

Created on 9 November, 2025 • Generator Tools • 0 views

Generate SHA-384 hashes for high-assurance integrity with moderate length. Ideal for long-term archives and signatures.

Snapshot

SHA-384 (SHA-2 family) outputs 384-bit digests, offering a larger security margin than SHA-256 with smaller size than SHA-512.

When to Use / When Not

1. Use when: You require stronger collision resistance for archives, firmware, or signed releases.
2. Avoid when: Ecosystems standardize on SHA-256 and additional length brings no real benefit.

How to Generate (Step-by-Step)

1. Provide file/content bytes.
2. Hash with SHA-384; capture 96-char hex.
3. Include algorithm label and file path in manifests.

Implementation Notes

1. Prefer HMAC-SHA-384 for keyed integrity.
2. Verify on download, deployment, and restore.
3. Keep stable line endings to avoid digest drift.

FAQs

Is SHA-384 overkill for web assets?

Usually. SHA-256 is typical for web package checks.

Binary vs hex storage?

Binary (48 bytes) is compact; render hex for logs.
