Set minimum size for hash functions
Summary
Use hash functions with a minimum size of 256 bits.
Description
Systems must use hash functions with a minimum size of 256 bits because it is important for achieving a high level of security and resistance against various cryptographic attacks.
It provides a robust foundation for cryptographic protocols and password hashing implementations.
