crypt.SHA1

Coerces s to a string and computes a hash value using the SHA1 algorithm.

Syntax

crypt.SHA1 (s, flTranslate)

Params

  • s is a string
  • flTranslate is an optional boolean parameter, determining the format of the return value

Returns

The SHA1 hash value of s. If flTranslate is true (the default), the hash value is returned as a string in hexadecimal notation (40 characters), otherwise a 20-byte binary object of unknown type is returned.
