SHA

Description

Calculates the SHA value of a blob.

Applies to

CrypterObject objects

Syntax

crypter.SHA ( algorithm, variable)

Argument

Description

crypter

The name of the CrypterObject object

algorithm

A value of the SHAAlgorithm enumerated type that specifies the type of SHA algorithm.

Values are:

  • SHA1! – SHA1

  • SHA224! – SHA224

  • SHA256! – SHA256

  • SHA384! – SHA384

  • SHA512! – SHA512

  • SHA3_224! – SHA3-224

  • SHA3_256! – SHA3-256

  • SHA3_384! – SHA3-384

  • SHA3_512! – SHA3-512

variable

A blob whose value is the data you want to process with SHA.

When using the system blob function to convert a string to a blob, it is recommended to specify its encoding argument to be EncodingANSI! (for English characters only) or EncodingUTF8!, otherwise, the default EncodingUTF16LE! will be used.


Return value

Blob. Returns the result of the SHA if it succeeds. If any argument's value is null, the method returns null. If an error occurs, throw the exception.

Examples

This statement encrypts the data using SHA1.

Blob lblb_data
Blob lblb_sha1

lblb_data = Blob("Test SHA1", EncodingANSI!)

CrypterObject lnv_CrypterObject
lnv_CrypterObject = Create CrypterObject

// Encrypt with SHA
lblb_sha1= lnv_CrypterObject.SHA(SHA1!, lblb_data)
