The SHA-256 coded in a straightforward way in python

Content

• The official publication of SHA algorithm.
• A python numpy implementation of SHA-256 following the exact steps and notations as in the publication, in sha256py.

Tests

• python3 sha256.py will test the algorithm against hashlib

Usage
