How to use: Ascon Hash
Ascon Hash is a free online Hash Tools tool that ascon-Hash256 produces a fixed 256-bit (32-byte) cryptographic hash as standardised in NIST SP 800-232. Ascon is a family of lightweight authenticated encryption and hashing algorithms designed for constrained devices such as IoT sensors an instantly in your browser. Paste your data, adjust the options and get the result in real time — no installation, no sign-up, and nothing is ever uploaded to a server.

- Hash Tools
- Because everything is computed client-side, Ascon Hash is safe to use with sensitive data such as API keys, tokens or private logs.
How to use
Using Ascon Hash takes three steps:
- Paste your data into the input box (or load the example).
- Configure the options to match your target format or scenario.
- Copy, download or inspect the output — it updates live as you type.

FAQ
What is Ascon Hash?
Ascon Hash ascon-Hash256 produces a fixed 256-bit (32-byte) cryptographic hash as standardised in NIST SP 800-232. Ascon is a family of lightweight authenticated encryption and hashing algorithms designed for constrained devices such as IoT sensors an. It runs entirely in your browser, so your data stays private.
Is Ascon Hash free to use?
Yes. Ascon Hash is free, unlimited and works without registration or installation.
Does my data get uploaded?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser; nothing is sent to any server.
Good to know
- Everything runs client-side, so extremely large inputs are limited by your browser tab’s memory rather than by a server upload limit.
- The worked example below could not be pre-computed for this tool (threw: function is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))); the interactive tool above still works normally.
