Calculating the md5 and sha1 hash in iOS sdk is pretty simple -
Step 1 – The very first thing you need to do is import CommonCrypto’s CommonDigest.h
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h>
Step 2 – Here is the real code for calculating SHA1 and MD5 hash -
SHA1 -
-(NSString*) sha1:(NSString*)input { const char *cstr = [input cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:cstr length:input.length]; uint8_t digest[CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH]; CC_SHA1(data.bytes, data.length, digest); NSMutableString* output = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH * 2]; for(int i = 0; i < CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++) [output appendFormat:@"%02x", digest[i]]; return output; }
MD5 -
- (NSString *) md5:(NSString *) input { const char *cStr = [input UTF8String]; unsigned char digest[16]; CC_MD5( cStr, strlen(cStr), digest ); // This is the md5 call NSMutableString *output = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH * 2]; for(int i = 0; i < CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++) [output appendFormat:@"%02x", digest[i]]; return output; }
Hope it will help someone!!
