(JavaScript) SHA256 Hash the Bytes Represented in a Hex String

Demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes represented by a hexidecimal encoded string, and return the hash bytes as an hex encoded string.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

// We wish to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...
var src = "6CF8EA51E4E0F599CF03EC8D58C3DCBC9C889A77FB2816B40DE25C2EC54E98A67EA517B";

var bd = new CkBinData();
success = bd.AppendEncoded(src,"hex");

// The bd now contains the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256";
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex";

// Hash the bytes contained in bd, and return the 32-byte SHA256 hash as a hexidecimal encoded string.
var result = crypt.HashBdENC(bd);
console.log(result);
