Delphi DLL Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashBytes method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashBytes method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Delphi DLL

var
crypt: HCkCrypt2;
path: PWideChar;
inData: HCkByteData;
outData: HCkByteData;
bdIn: HCkBinData;
base64_hash: PWideChar;

begin
crypt := CkCrypt2_Create();

CkCrypt2_putHashAlgorithm(crypt,'sha256');

path := 'c:/someDir/example.dat';

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  The HashBytes method is deprecated:

inData := CkByteData_Create();
CkByteData_loadFile(inData,path);

outData := CkByteData_Create();

success := CkCrypt2_HashBytes(crypt,inData,outData);

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Workaround.
//  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

bdIn := CkBinData_Create();
CkBinData_LoadFile(bdIn,path);

CkCrypt2_putEncodingMode(crypt,'base64');
base64_hash := CkCrypt2__hashBdENC(crypt,bdIn);

CkCrypt2_Dispose(crypt);
CkByteData_Dispose(inData);
CkByteData_Dispose(outData);
CkBinData_Dispose(bdIn);
