Why SHA-2 instead of RSA 4096 or SHA-256? Even the RSA is compromised but 4096-bit will take a lot more(maybe few more hours) resources to decrypt. ==edited==

Thank you for the reply.
- konklone 12y agoSHA-256 is a form of SHA-2.
- schmichael 12y agoSHA-256 is one of SHA-2's hash functions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
- wyager 12y agoYou use a hash function (e.g. SHA256) to make the hash of the page and a signature algorithm (like RSA 4096) to sign it.
