A very, very simple program to encrypt a message using hash sha256, commonly used in network security.

I import the hashlib library so that I am able to perform sha256 functions.

import hashlib

I prompt the user for a string input. After which, the string input gets encoded using functions below, storing the encoded values into a new variable encode.

text = input('enter string to encrpyt: ')
encode = hashlib.sha256(text.encode())

Output the result.

print(encode.hexdigest()) 

enter string to encrpyt: hello world
