Compute Glacier SHA256 Linear Hash of a File

See more Amazon Glacier Examples

Computes the Amazon Glacier SHA256 linear hash for a file. VB.NET

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

' The "linear hash" is simply the SHA256 hash of the file bytes.
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"

' Return the hash in lowercase hexidecimal format.
crypt.EncodingMode = "hexlower"

Dim linearHashHex As String = crypt.HashFileENC("qa_data/jpg/penguins.jpg")
Debug.WriteLine("SHA256 linear hash = " & linearHashHex)
