SHA-512 not supported by Java?

try {
        MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512");
        byte[] output = digest.digest(password);

        digest.update(salt);
        digest.update(output);
        return new BigInteger(1, digest.digest());
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException(e);
    }

But I got Exception in thread "main" java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SHA_512 MessageDigest not available error

Is SHA512 broken?

Conclusion. The SHA-512 hashing algorithm is currently one of the best and secured hashing algorithms after hashes like MD5 and SHA-1 has been broken down. Due to their complicated nature it is not well accepted and SHA-256 is a general standard, but the industry is slowing moving towards this hashing algorithm.

Is SHA512 better than SHA256?

The reason why SHA-512 is faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit machines is that has 37.5% less rounds per byte (80 rounds operating on 128 byte blocks) compared to SHA- 256 (64 rounds operating on 64 byte blocks), where the operations use 64-bit integer arithmetic.

What format is SHA512?

SHA-512, or Secure Hash Algorithm 512, is a hashing algorithm used to convert text of any length into a fixed-size string. Each output produces a SHA-512 length of 512 bits (64 bytes). This algorithm is commonly used for email addresses hashing, password hashing, and digital record verification.

Can you decrypt SHA512?

Since SHA512 is a hash algorithm based on non-linear functions, it is designed to prevent any decryption method and so is made to be uncrackable.

The following are the standard hashing algorithms provided by the Java MessageDigest:

  • MD2
  • MD5
  • SHA-1
  • SHA-256
  • SHA-384
  • SHA-512

You may want to verify the name you are supplying to the factory method.
