hash-string - (encryption)

Description

hash-string produces by default a SHA256 hash of <string> (if "digest" clause is not used), and stores the result into <result>. You can use a different <digest algorithm> in "digest" clause (for example "SHA3-256"). To see a list of available digests: #get digests openssl list -digest-algorithms If "binary" clause is used without boolean variable <binary>, or if <binary> evaluates to true, then the <result> is a binary string that may contain null-characters. With the default SHA256, it is 32 bytes in length, while for instance with SHA3-384 it is 48 bytes in length, etc. Without "binary" clause, or if <binary> evaluates to false, each binary byte of hashed string is converted to two hexadecimal characters ("0"-"9" and "a"-"f"), hence <result> is twice as long as with "binary" clause.

Examples

String "result" will have a hashed value of the given string, an example of which might look like "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855": hash-string "hello world" to hash Using a different digest: hash-string "hello world" to hash digest "sha3-384" Producing a binary value instead of a null-terminated hexadecimal string: hash-string "hello world" to hash digest "sha3-384" binary
