Hash string with SHA512 in Swift

Question

Anyone knows how to reproduce PHP hashing method hash(‘SHA512’, $value, true) in swift ? I tried to use CommonCrypto C library with this code :

extension String          


        

Answer 1

Swift 3 implementatiomn at bottom.

The code does not need to be so complex or an extension:

func sha512Hex(string string: String) -> String {
    var digest = [UInt8](count: Int(CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH), repeatedValue: 0)
    if let data = string.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
        CC_SHA512(data.bytes, CC_LONG(data.length), &digest)
    }

    var digestHex = ""
    for index in 0..

//Test:

let hexDigest = sha512Hex(string:"8yOrBmkd")
print("hexDigest:\n\(hexDigest)")

Output:

hexDigest: ae596d2d67966900ab7cd4d831ad02708b3499f2e81c60329eb77e77c1fae7eac60331d2fc1496b2e9b04a673117d6801bd4c8cd7c7e1ce8c0acfc8b2f785eae

Just returing the byte array:

func sha512(string string: String) -> [UInt8] {
    var digest = [UInt8](count: Int(CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH), repeatedValue: 0)
    let data = string.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
    CC_SHA512(data.bytes, CC_LONG(data.length), &digest)

    return digest
}

//Test:

let digestRaw = sha512(string:"8yOrBmkd")
print("decimal array:\n\(digestRaw)")
print("hexadecimal:\n\(NSData(bytes:digestRaw, length:digestRaw.count).description)")

Output:

decimal array: [174, 89, 109, 45, 103, 150, 105, 0, 171, 124, 212, 216, 49, 173, 2, 112, 139, 52, 153, 242, 232, 28, 96, 50, 158, 183, 126, 119, 193, 250, 231, 234, 198, 3, 49, 210, 252, 20, 150, 178, 233, 176, 74, 103, 49, 23, 214, 128, 27, 212, 200, 205, 124, 126, 28, 232, 192, 172, 252, 139, 47, 120, 94, 174]

hexadecimal:
ae596d2d67966900ab7cd4d831ad02708b3499f2e81c60329eb77e77c1fae7eac60331d2fc1496b2e9b04a673117d6801bd4c8cd7c7e1ce8c0acfc8b2f785eae

Base64 output:

func sha512Base64(string string: String) -> String {
    let digest = NSMutableData(length: Int(CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH))!
    if let data = string.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
        CC_SHA512(data.bytes, CC_LONG(data.length), UnsafeMutablePointer(digest.mutableBytes))
    }
    return digest.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions([]))
}

//Test:

let digestBase64 = sha512Base64(string:"8yOrBmkd")
print("Base64:\n\(digestBase64)")

Output:

Base64: rlltLWeWaQCrfNTYMa0CcIs0mfLoHGAynrd+d8H65+rGAzHS/BSWsumwSmcxF9aAG9TIzXx+HOjArPyLL3herg==

Swift 3

func hashSHA512(data:Data) -> String? {
    var hashData = Data(count: Int(CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH))

    _ = hashData.withUnsafeMutableBytes {digestBytes in
        data.withUnsafeBytes {messageBytes in
            CC_SHA512(messageBytes, CC_LONG(data.count), digestBytes)
        }
    }

    // For hexadecimal output:
    return hashData.map { String(format: "%02hhx", $0) }.joined()
    // For Base64 output use this instead of the above:
    // return data.base64EncodedString()
}

Example from deprecated documentation section:

HMAC with MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 (Swift 3+)

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 MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512

This example requires Common Crypto
It is necessary to have a bridging header to the project:
#import
Add the Security.framework to the project.

These functions takes a hash name, message to be hashed, a key and return a digest:

---

hashName: name of a hash function as String  
message:  message as Data  
key:      key as Data  
returns:  digest as Data  

func hmac(hashName:String, message:Data, key:Data) -> Data? {
    let algos = ["SHA1":   (kCCHmacAlgSHA1,   CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH),
                 "MD5":    (kCCHmacAlgMD5,    CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH),
                 "SHA224": (kCCHmacAlgSHA224, CC_SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH),

    guard let (hashAlgorithm, length) = algos[hashName]  else { return nil }
    var macData = Data(count: Int(length))

    macData.withUnsafeMutableBytes {macBytes in
        message.withUnsafeBytes {messageBytes in
            key.withUnsafeBytes {keyBytes in
                CCHmac(CCHmacAlgorithm(hashAlgorithm),
                       keyBytes,     key.count,
                       messageBytes, message.count,
                       macBytes)
            }
        }
    }
    return macData

}
