SHA224 Encrypt/Decrypt

SHA224: Secure Hash Algorithm 224 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 224-bit (28-byte) hash value. It's part of the SHA-2 family and is considered cryptographically secure.

One-way Function: SHA224 is a one-way hash function, meaning you cannot "decrypt" a hash back to its original text. The verification feature compares hashes to check if text matches.

Salt: Adding a salt (random data) to your input before hashing provides additional security against rainbow table attacks and makes identical inputs produce different hashes.

Use Cases: Password storage, data integrity verification, digital signatures, and blockchain applications where a shorter hash is preferred over SHA256.
