<code class="sig">Crypto.sha256(s) -&gt; string</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Computes the SHA-256 digest of the bytes of <code>s</code> and returns it as a 64-character lowercase hex string. This is the standard, FIPS 180-4 algorithm — the same digest every other conforming implementation produces — so it is deterministic across platforms and runs and is backed by published known-answer vectors. Use it to fingerprint content, or as the building block under <a href="crypto-hmac_sha256"><code>Crypto.hmac_sha256</code></a> for signing. On its own SHA-256 is <em>not</em> a message authentication code: anyone can recompute it, so it proves what the data is, not who produced it.</p></div>
