Hash the Contents of a File (SHA256 and other hash algorithms)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to hash the contents of a file using SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD2, MD5, HAVAL, RIPEMD, etc. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final crypt = CkCrypt2();

  // Choose the hash algorithm.
  // Can be  "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", "haval", "ripemd128", "ripemd160","ripemd256", or "ripemd320".
  crypt.hashAlgorithm = 'sha256';

  final hashBytes = crypt.hashFile('qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg');

  // Let's examine the hash as a hex string.
  final sb = CkStringBuilder();
  sb.appendEncoded(hashBytes, 'hex');
  print('SHA256 hash = ${sb.getAsString()}');
