    Great video!
    Btw, in the beginning you said that whatever bit length your input has, the padded message length would be the next 512 multiple. That is actually not fully true. That would only be true if the length of the input is smaller or equal to n*512 - 65 (if equal then k = 0). so if e.g. the input length is 960, the padded message will not be 1024 bits long, bc we would then have negative solution for k. But we cannot have a negative solution for k, so that’s why we would need to go with 1536.

    Thanks very much for the video!! I had to pause several times but I now understand better the algorithm.
    I also like that you show screenshots of the standard, it is a gentle introduction.
    I have some suggestions:
    - Use namespaced fonts. This avoid the misalignment of 10:34
    - Do you make the animations using Manim? In this case would be great that you share the source code :)

      Yes, as a hashing function is many-to-one relationship, and involves a finite number of outputs given an infinite domain - if you are interested in this more, you might want to read up on hashing functions, hash maps and most importantly, how a function deals with "collisions" - which are what you outlined, hashes that are the same but given different outputs. :)

      @redblockblue  ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you mean:
      Given a 256 bit output, find the input?
      No this is not possible, SHA256 (as with all cryptographic hash functions) is a 'one-way' function' meaning its impossible to invert (go google those terms and look at wiki if you're unfamiliar).
      To convince yourself this is true just look at the inner workings of the algorithm: it's composed of several 'mini' one-way functions such as bit-wise addition mod 2 (i.e. we pass the bits through an XOR gate) if the output is 1 then the input is either 01 or 10.. we can't even invert this function! Same goes for 'shift' function in the video, SHIFT3(11011100) = 00011011... those first 3 bits of the input could be anything and still give same output (b/c they're set to zero regardless) so we cannot invert this mini function either
