Hi if that picture is true then can someone please she'd some light for example on why a stupid thing such as a remotely managed electric car battery charger is running SHA-1024? Thanks, btw they used to run SHA-256 before...
There is no SHA-1024.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2Wikipedia is full of mistakes. I am sure there is SHA-1024 product coming out, the guy is making the hardware and applying for license...
Also, the strange thing is that Bitcoin was said to have started in 2009, but that page says SHA-2 was
2011ish...
All besides the point, point being why would anyone use SHA-512 then if SHA-256 is impossible to break in this time and space?
"SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256) designed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)
