Understanding SHA3-384 Hashing

SHA3-384 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3 with 384-bit output) is a cryptographic hash function from the SHA-3 family, designed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It provides enhanced security and resistance to collision attacks compared to earlier hash functions.

SHA3-384 Hash Characteristics:

Fixed Length: Always produces a 96-character hexadecimal string (384 bits)
Deterministic: Same input always produces the same hash
Sponge Construction: Uses the Keccak sponge function for internal processing
Avalanche Effect: Small input changes result in dramatically different hashes
One-Way Function: Computationally infeasible to reverse
Collision Resistant: Extremely difficult to find two inputs with the same hash

Common Use Cases:

Digital Signatures: Create secure digital signatures for documents
File Integrity: Verify file downloads and detect corruption
Password Hashing: Secure storage of user passwords
Blockchain Technology: Cryptographic proofs in distributed systems
Certificate Authorities: Digital certificate validation
Secure Communications: Message authentication and integrity

Security Note: SHA3-384 is considered cryptographically secure and is recommended for security-critical applications. It's part of the SHA-3 family which was designed to be resistant to collision attacks that affect earlier hash functions.
