public abstract class SHA256 : HashAlgorithm {

}
This class extends HashAlgorithm
and is the
abstract representation of the SHA-256 algorithm, which creates a
256-bit hash code. Individual implementations of SHA-256 extend this
class. The .NET Framework class library includes the
SHA256Managed
class, which is the default
implementation.
