// Hashing algorithms (i.e. digest algorithms) operate on raw bytes.
// Therefore, we must specify the character encoding (utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1, etc.) to be used when hashing.

// Get the SHA256 hash in hex
ls_Sha256_hex = loo_Sb.GetHash("sha256","hex","utf-8")
Write-Debug "SHA256: " + ls_Sha256_hex

// Get the SHA384 hash in hex lowercase
ls_Sha384_hex = loo_Sb.GetHash("sha384","hex_lower","utf-8")
Write-Debug "SHA384: " + ls_Sha384_hex

// Get the SHA512 hash in base64
ls_Sha512_base64 = loo_Sb.GetHash("sha512","base64","utf-8")

// Get the SHA1 hash in hex lowercase
