Creates a SHA-256 message digest in hexadecimal format
from a message in Byte array format.
Public Declare Function SHA2_BytesHexHash Lib "diCryptoSys.dll"
(ByVal strDigest As String, ByRef lpData As Byte, ByVal nDataLen As Long) As Long
nRet = SHA2_BytesHexHash(strDigest, abData(0), nDataLen)
' Note the "(0)" after the byte array parameters
long __stdcall SHA2_BytesHexHash(char *szDigest, const unsigned char *lpData, long nDataLen);
If successful, the return value is 0; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.
Sha256.HexHash Method (Byte[])
sha256.HexHexHash
Public Function HexHexHash(ByVal strHexData As String) As String
See sha256.HexHexHash.
szDigest must be at least 64 (API_MAX_SHA2_CHARS) characters long (65 in a C program).
Dim nRet As Long
Dim abData(2) As Byte ' Create 3-byte array (NB zero-based)
' Alternative way of making sure string is 64 chars long
Dim strDigest As String * 64
' Setup byte array with "abc"
abData(0) = Asc("a")
abData(1) = Asc("b")
abData(2) = Asc("c")
nRet = SHA2_BytesHexHash(strDigest, abData(0), 3)
Debug.Print nRet; strDigest
This should result in output as follows:
