Creates a hash for a value using the [SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) algorithm. Returns a promise.
Creates a hash for a value using the [SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) algorithm.
Returns a promise.
- Use `crypto` API to create a hash for the given value, `setTimeout` to prevent blocking on a long operation, and a `Promise` to give it a familiar interface.
- Use `crypto.createHash()` to create a `Hash` object with the appropriate algorithm.
- Use `hash.update()` to add the data from `val` to the `Hash`, `hash.digest()` to calculate the digest of the data.
- Use `setTimeout()` to prevent blocking on a long operation, and return a `Promise` to give it a familiar interface.
