Cryptographic Hash Functions

Overview

This plug-in contains functions that can perform the following:

  • Create hex encoded hashes for md5, sha1, sha256, and sha512 algorithms
  • Generate hashes with secret key for HMAC
  • Generate hashes of documents
  • Generate a signature key

  2. md5hashdocument(Document)
  3. sha1hash(Text)
  4. sha1hashdocument(Document)
  5. sha224Hash
  6. sha256hash(Text)
  7. sha256hashdocument(Document)
  8. sha512hash(Text)

  • This is a very useful plugin and we have used some of its functions for creation of a Shared Access Signature token required for REST API Intergation with Azure Service Bus. Much appreciate Appian's support with this Plugin

  • Hi  Could you please let me know how you generated Shared Access Signature in Appian using this plugin? Because I used this plugin to generate SAS for Azure BLOB using the below code but the authorization header fails. Can you debug below code and let me know what i miss

    local!sampleSign:"GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Fri, 23 Feb 2024 16:10:38 GMT\nx-ms-version:2015-04-05\n/mystorageaccount/mycontainer/myfilenamewithext",
    local!base64Key: decodebase64string(/*Access Key of Storage Account*/),
    local!unicodeSign: code(local!sampleSign),/*UTF-8 conversion*/
    local!hashKey: hmacsha256bytehash(
    key: local!base64Key,
    scsValue:{""},
    string: local!unicodeSign,
    returnBase64: true
    ),
    { touniformstring(local!hashKey) }
