Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by reviewing the existing software and SHA-NI SHA-256 backends, then determine the scope and design for SSE and AVX2 backends. Done would mean a defined and implemented backend addition, but the issue does not specify acceptance tests or implementation details.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently we only have software and SHA-NI backends for SHA-256.
