Also known as SHA-512/224, SHA512/256, SHA 2, SHA-224, SHA512/224, SHA256, SHA-512/256, SHA-384

SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.
