I know the SHA256 hash of part1 and I know what part2 represents, but I don't know what is the contents of part1.
Is there any chance I can compute the hash of the whole string…

Do any browsers support Server Name Indication (SNI) but NOT SHA-2?
Yes, I know that SHA-2 signature validation is typically done by the operating system (with Mozilla Firefox/NSS and Chrome as of v39 being the exception).

How to encrypt by AES-Twofish-Serpent
I was wondering how to encrypt by doing a AES-Twofish-Serpent encryption. Does this mean I encrypt in AES first then after that in Twofish, and after that in Serpent (three separate encryptions). In truecrypt they talk about cascading in xts…

Are GPG, PBKDF2 and SHA256 all AES?
As far as I understand what defines an AES is you use the same private key for encrypting and decrypting.
Do all GPG, PBKDF2 and SHA256 lay under this category?
PBKDF2 I know for a fact it is, but what is the differences between them?
thanks

SHA256 Encrypting with Value
Is it possible to encrypt a value (such as "hello world") with itself ("hello world") using an encrypting technique such as SHA256? Is that safe to do or would it be easily compromised?
