Overview

This snippet demonstrates how to Calculate SHA-1 hash value of a specific message:"SHA-1 is the best established of the existing SHA hash functions, and is employed in several widely used security applications and protocols. "

This snippet can be self-signed

Use Case

Calculate SHA-1 hash value of a specific message.

Source file

//necessary library
LIBRARY     hash.lib

//necessary header file
#include <hash.h>
 
_LIT8(message1, "SHA-1 is the best established of the existing SHA hash functions, and is employed in several widely used security applications and protocols.");
 
TBuf8<32> hashValue;
CSHA1* pSha1= CSHA1::NewL();
const TPtrC8 ptr = pSha1->Hash(message1); 
hashValue.Copy(ptr);
delete pSha1;

Postconditions

hashValue contains resulting SHA1 hash of message1.
