Best Answer

SHA is cryptographic hash function used to encrypt passwords.

The SHA hashing algorithm is not restricted to Unix, though. It is typically used to verify the integrity of some downloaded file, to make sure there was no corruption during transmission. Your Windows or OSX software may use this same algorithm without you knowing it.
