(Perl) Hash Algorithms: SHA-1, HAVAL, MD2, MD5, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512

How to create hashes (message digests) for strings.

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

$s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";

$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha1");

# Other possible EncodingMode settings are: 
# "quoted-printable", "base64","url", and many more..

$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "SHA1: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Hash using MD2
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("md2");
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "MD2: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Hash using MD5
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("md5");
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "MD5: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Note: SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512)

# Hash using SHA-256
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha256");
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "SHA256: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Hash using SHA-384
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha384");
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "SHA384: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Hash using SHA-512
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha512");
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "SHA512: " . $hash . "\r\n";

# Hash using HAVAL
# There are two additional properties relevant to HAVAL:
# HavalRounds, and KeyLength.
# HavalRounds can have values of 3, 4, or 5.
# KeyLength can have values of 128, 160, 192, 224, or 256
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("haval");
$crypt->put_HavalRounds(5);
$crypt->put_KeyLength(256);
$hash = $crypt->hashStringENC($s);
print "Haval: " . $hash . "\r\n";
