Swift Language Cryptographic Hashing MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 (Swift 3)
Example
These functions will hash either String or Data input with one of eight cryptographic hash algorithms.
The name parameter specifies the hash function name as a String
Supported functions are MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512
This example requires Common Crypto
It is necessary to have a bridging header to the project:
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonCrypto.h>
Add the Security.framework to the project.
This function takes a hash name and Data to be hashed and returns a Data:
name: A name of a hash function as a String data: The Data to be hashed returns: the hashed result as Data
func hash(name:String, data:Data) -> Data? {
let algos = ["MD2": (CC_MD2, CC_MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"MD4": (CC_MD4, CC_MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"MD5": (CC_MD5, CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"SHA1": (CC_SHA1, CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"SHA224": (CC_SHA224, CC_SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"SHA256": (CC_SHA256, CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"SHA384": (CC_SHA384, CC_SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH),
"SHA512": (CC_SHA512, CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH)]
guard let (hashAlgorithm, length) = algos[name] else { return nil }
var hashData = Data(count: Int(length))
_ = hashData.withUnsafeMutableBytes {digestBytes in
data.withUnsafeBytes {messageBytes in
hashAlgorithm(messageBytes, CC_LONG(data.count), digestBytes)
}
}
return hashData
}
This function takes a hash name and String to be hashed and returns a Data:
name: A name of a hash function as a String string: The String to be hashed returns: the hashed result as Data
func hash(name:String, string:String) -> Data? {
let data = string.data(using:.utf8)!
return hash(name:name, data:data)
}
Examples:
let clearString = "clearData0123456"
let clearData = clearString.data(using:.utf8)!
print("clearString: \(clearString)")
print("clearData: \(clearData as NSData)")
let hashSHA256 = hash(name:"SHA256", string:clearString)
print("hashSHA256: \(hashSHA256! as NSData)")
let hashMD5 = hash(name:"MD5", data:clearData)
print("hashMD5: \(hashMD5! as NSData)")
Output:
clearString: clearData0123456
clearData: <636c6561 72446174 61303132 33343536>
hashSHA256: <aabc766b 6b357564 e41f4f91 2d494bcc bfa16924 b574abbd ba9e3e9d a0c8920a>
hashMD5: <4df665f7 b94aea69 695b0e7b baf9e9d6>
