What is SHA384 Hash Generator?

SHA-384 is a SHA-2 family hash function defined in FIPS 180. It uses the SHA-512 compression function with different initial values and returns a 384-bit digest.

Use SHA-384 when a protocol, certificate profile, API, or test fixture explicitly expects it. It is stronger than SHA-256 in output length, but SHA-256 remains more common for general-purpose hashing.

How to Use SHA384 Hash Generator

1

Type or paste the text you want to hash

2

Review the generated SHA-384 output

3

Toggle uppercase if your target system expects capital hex

4

Copy the digest for comparison or documentation

Common Use Cases

  • Generating SHA-384 digests for TLS and certificate-related test fixtures.
  • Comparing expected 384-bit hashes across implementations.
  • Creating integrity fingerprints for systems that require SHA-384.
  • Documenting known-good hash values in release notes or tests.

Example Input and Output

Generate the standard SHA-384 digest for a short string.

How This Tool Works

The tool encodes input as UTF-8 bytes, applies SHA-384 padding and SHA-512-family compression locally, and formats the 384-bit digest as hexadecimal.

Security note

SHA-384 is considered secure for modern integrity checks when a 384-bit digest is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a SHA-384 hash?

SHA-384 outputs 384 bits, displayed as 96 hexadecimal characters.

Is SHA-384 part of SHA-2?

Yes. SHA-384 is a SHA-2 variant built from the SHA-512 compression function.

Is SHA-384 the same as truncated SHA-512?

No. SHA-384 uses different initial values, so it is not plain SHA-512 truncated to 384 bits.

Is input uploaded?

No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser.
