      ##
      # The Verification Code (VC) is computed as:
      #
      # integer(SHA256(hash)[−2:−1]) mod 10000
      #
      # where we take SHA256 result, extract 2 rightmost bytes from it,
      # interpret them as a big-endian unsigned short and take the last 4 digits in decimal for display.
      #
      # SHA256 is always used here, no matter what was the algorithm used to calculate hash.
