Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the size of each register used in SHA 512 algorithm?
A
32 bits
B
48 bits
C
16 bits
D
64 bits
E
128 bits
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SHA 512 consists of 8 words of 64 bits each. The standard hashing algorithm will run individual round for 80 times and the generates 512 bits output.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hash size for the SHA512 algorithm is 512 bits.

Detailed explanation-3: -A 512-bit buffer is used to hold intermediate and final results of the hash function. The buffer can be represented as eight 64-bit registers (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h).

Detailed explanation-4: -SHA-512 has an output size of 512 bits.
