SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA is a mathematical formula that converts your file to a small number. This number is sent to other users with the file announcement. When someone downloads your file, they recalculate the number from the file. If the number matches the number you sent, they know they got the right file. The formula was designed in such a way that it is extremely unlikely that two different files have the same number.
