How to Use the SHA-384 Hash Generator
Type or paste any text into the input box — the SHA-384 hash is computed live using your browser's built-in Web Crypto API (crypto.subtle.digest). SHA-384 is essentially SHA-512 run with different initial values and truncated to a 384-bit (96 hex character) digest, giving a shorter output while keeping SHA-512's internal strength. Click Copy to grab the resulting hex digest.
Example
Hashing the text hello produces 59e1748777448c69de6b800d7a33bbfb9ff1b463e44354c3553bcdb9c666fa90125a3c79f90397bdf5f6a13de828684f.
Common Use Cases
- Verifying file integrity against a published SHA-384 checksum.
- Generating certificate fingerprints or TLS-related digests that specify SHA-384.
- Comparing SHA-384 output against SHA-256 and SHA-512 while learning the SHA-2 family.
FAQs
- How is SHA-384 different from SHA-512? SHA-384 uses the exact same internal algorithm as SHA-512 but starts from different initial hash values and simply truncates the final 512-bit result down to 384 bits (96 hex characters). It is not a completely separate algorithm — it's SHA-512 with a shorter, distinct output.
- Why would someone use SHA-384 instead of SHA-256 or SHA-512? SHA-384 is commonly required by specific standards and protocols (such as certain TLS cipher suites and certificate fingerprint formats) that call for it by name, and it offers a security margin between SHA-256 and full SHA-512 with a fixed 96-character output.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere? No — hashing happens entirely client-side using the browser's native Web Crypto API. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
