What is sha256 file? How to open sha256 files?
File type specification:
File extension sha256 is associated with the FileVerifier++, a program for Microsoft Windows operating system, which is used to validate identity of files by hash algorithms.
SHA256 file, or SHA256 hash, is a file that has been processed through the SHA256 algorithm, resulting in a unique hash value. This hash value can be used to verify the integrity of data, as any change to the data, no matter how small, will result in a completely different hash value. This makes it useful for things like password storage, data integrity checks, and digital signatures.
