SHA256 class

The Server-Side ActionScript SHA256 class is a symmetric port of the Flex® SDK mx.util.SHA256 utility class. Use this class to generate a digest, or signature, for binary data. A receiver of the data can compute its own digest and compare that to the original digest value to ensure that the binary data has not been tampered with.

Method

Description

Uses the SHA-256 hash algorithm to compute the digest of a message.

Parameters

bytes

A ByteArray containing the message.
