(CkPython) Hash the Contents of a String (SHA256 and other hash algorithms)
Demonstrates how to hash the contents of a string using SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD2, MD5, HAVAL, RIPEMD, etc.
import chilkat
# This example requires the Chilkat Crypt API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Unlock Chilkat Crypt for sample code.
crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()
# Choose the hash algorithm.
# Can be "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", "haval", "ripemd128", "ripemd160","ripemd256", or "ripemd320".
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")
# The byte representation of the string matters when hashing.
# Tell Chilkat that we want to use the utf-8 byte representation.
crypt.put_Charset("utf-8")
hashBytes = chilkat.CkByteData()
success = crypt.HashString("They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.",hashBytes)
# Let's examine the hash as a hex string.
sb = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
sb.AppendEncoded(hashBytes,"hex")
print("SHA256 hash = " + sb.getAsString())
