How to create hashes (message digests) for strings.

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

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

Dim s As String
s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha1"
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

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

Dim hash As String
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("SHA1: " + hash)

// Hash using MD2
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "md2"
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("MD2: " + hash)

// Hash using MD5
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "md5"
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("MD5: " + hash)

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

// Hash using SHA-256
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("SHA256: " + hash)

// Hash using SHA-384
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha384"
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("SHA384: " + hash)

// Hash using SHA-512
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha512"
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("SHA512: " + hash)

// 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.HashAlgorithm = "haval"
crypt.HavalRounds = 5
crypt.KeyLength = 256
hash = crypt.HashStringENC(s)
System.DebugLog("Haval: " + hash)
