Struct Sha256 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct Sha256;

Hardware-accelerated SHA-256 implementation

This struct manages the context and state required for processing data using the selected hashing algorithm.

The struct provides various functionalities such as initializing the hashing process, updating the internal state with new data, and finalizing the hashing operation to generate the final digest.

⚠️ Note that this algorithm is known to be insecure against length extension attacks.
