AkousaSHA-384 Hash Generator
Generate SHA-384 hash digests of text input.
About SHA-384 Hash Generator
SHA-384 Hash Generator computes the SHA-384 cryptographic hash digest of any text input, producing a 384-bit (48-byte) output displayed as a 96-character hexadecimal string. SHA-384 is a member of the SHA-2 family defined in FIPS PUB 180-4, designed as a truncated version of SHA-512 using a different initialization vector. It offers a stronger security margin than SHA-256 while producing a smaller output than SHA-512, making it a practical choice for digital signatures, certificate fingerprinting, and Subresource Integrity (SRI) generation for web assets. SHA-384 is also used as the underlying hash in HMAC-SHA-384 for message authentication.
How to Use
Enter or paste your text into the input field and the SHA-384 hash digest is computed instantly without any button click required. The 96-character hexadecimal output is displayed in the result panel. Copy the hash using the copy button and use it for file integrity verification, SRI attribute generation, or comparison against a known-good hash value. The tool also supports file hashing if you drag a file onto the input area, computing the SHA-384 of the file's binary content.
Common Use Cases
- Generating SHA-384 hashes for Subresource Integrity (SRI) attributes to protect externally-loaded JavaScript and CSS files from tampering
- Computing TLS certificate fingerprints using SHA-384 for certificate pinning configuration in mobile and desktop applications
- Creating file integrity checksums for software distribution packages to allow recipients to verify download completeness
- Implementing HMAC-SHA-384 message authentication code generation for API request signing and verification
- Comparing SHA-256 and SHA-384 hash lengths and collision resistance when selecting a hash algorithm for a new security protocol
