sha256 encryption

SHA256 encryption is a way of making sure that information sent from one person to another is confidential. SHA stands for "Secure Hash Algorithm" and it is used to encrypt data (like messages, passwords, or other important information) so that it cannot be read by anyone else. Encryption scrambles the information so that it is unreadable until the person who received it can unscramble the data with a special key, which is like a secret password. SHA256 works by taking the data that needs to be encrypted and changing it into a 256-bit number, which is almost impossible to break. Even if someone can guess the key to unscramble the data, they would need to guess it a billion times in order to get it right, so even if a hacker is very good at their job, they would still never be able to get to your data!
