Generate a Hash of the Message Body
Loading Processors...Loading APIs...
Generate a Base64-encoded SHA-256 hash of the message, and place the hash in the header's
digest
field. This hash is used to validate the integrity of the
message at the receiving end.Follow these steps to generate the hash:
- Generate the SHA-256 hash of the JSON payload (body of the message).
- Encode the hashed string to Base64.
- Add the message body hash to thedigestpayload field.
- Add the hash algorithm used to thedigestAlgorithmpayload field.

:-256
Code Example: Creating a Message Hash Using C#
publicstatic string GenerateDigest() { var digest = ""; var bodyText = "{ your JSON payload }"; using (var sha256hash = SHA256.Create()) { byte[] payloadBytes = sha256hash .ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(bodyText)); digest = Convert.ToBase64String(payloadBytes); digest = digest; } return digest;}
Code Example: Creating a Message Using Java
publicstatic String GenerateDigest() throws NoSuchAlgorithmException { String bodyText = "{ your JSON payload }"; MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256"); md.update(bodyText.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); byte[] digest = md.digest(); return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(digest);}
