Table of Contents
Description
The zoho.encryption.hmacsha1 task returns the hash corresponding to the given text generated using the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm.
Syntax
<response> = zoho.encryption.hmacsha1(<key>, <data>, [<output_type>]);
where:
| Params | Data type | Description |
<response> | TEXT | The hash generated using the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm. |
<key> | TEXT | The secret key with which the hash needs to be generated. |
<data> | TEXT | The source text whose corresponding hash needs to be computed. |
<output_type> | TEXT | The type in which the generated hash needs to be represented. By default, the output type is base64. Allowed values:
Note: This parameter is not applicable to Zoho Creator. |
Example
The following script returns the hash generated using the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm for the text - My#New#Password with the key - Use me to generate hash:
response = zoho.encryption.hmacsha1("Use me to generate hash", "My#New#Password");
where:
responseThe TEXT that represents the hash value returned by this task. Here, the hash returned is VK9VMxdsbxZBLHKgSEZYMEUlURs=.
"Use me to generate hash"The TEXT that represents the secret key with which the hash is generated.
"My#New#Password"The TEXT that represents the source text whose corresponding hash needs to be computed.
