Secure hash standard: A set of cryptographic hash functions that include SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, as approved and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. These algorithms are widely used to verify data integrity and authenticity. The Secure Hash Standard plays a critical role in many security protocols and applications to provide assurances of data integrity.
