SHA1FromString |
|
| Unit: |
SDL_dstruct |
| Class: |
none |
| Declaration: |
[1] function SHA1FromString (const InString: string): TSHACode;
[2] function SHA1FromString (const InString: AnsiString): TSHACode;
|
The function SHA1FromString calculates the SHA-1 digest of the string InString.
| Hint 1: |
Please note that version [1] of this routine calculates the SHA-1 digest using the currently active character encoding (which is in most cases a 16-bit Unicode string). However, this may cause compatibility issues on systems using a character encoding other than 16-bit Unicode. To be on the safe side you should consider to use version [2] of this routine which always uses 8-bit ANSI characters. |
| Hint 2: |
Under Delphi 6 and 7 only the version [2] is available.
|
| Hint 3: |
Please note that this routine has been derived from code originally published by TurboPower under the Mozilla Public License. See SourceForge for Details. |
