Answers are not correct:
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is one of a number of hash functions designed
by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST. They are
used widely in the United States government. SHA-1 is the most commonly used
version, which employs a 160-bit hash, which is reasonably secure but uses a lot of
resources on the computer generating the hash. SHA-2 is more secure; it has 256-
bit and 512-bit block sizes but uses even more resources and is less widely accepted.
