This function is restricted. Use of this function in your script will require a manual review before it will execute on the Sentinel infrastructure.

Signatures

beacon.hash(algorithm, input);

Parameters

algorithm

One of md5, sha1, sha256, sha-256, sha2-256, sha512, sha-512, sha2-512, sha3-256, or sha3-512. Some of these values are duplicates intended to be easier to remember.

input

Examples

Generate a SHA256 hash of Hello World

const hash = beacon.hash('sha256', 'Hello World');
beacon.debugPrint(hash); // Outputs "a591a6d40bf420404a011733cfb7b190d62c65bf0bcda32b57b277d9ad9f146e"
