Hash File

UiPath.Cryptography.Activities.KeyedHashFile

Description

Hashes a file with a key using a specified algorithm and encoding format and returns the hexadecimal string representation of the resulting hash.

Project compatibility

Windows - Legacy | Windows | Cross-platform

Windows, Cross-platform configuration

• Algorithm - A drop-down menu which enables you to select the keyed hashing algorithm you want to use. The following options are available: HMACMD5 (Non-FIPS), HMACSHA1, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, HMACSHA512, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512.
• File - The file that you want to hash.
• Key - The key that you want to use to hash the specified file. This field supports only strings and String variables.

Options

• Key Encoding - The encoding used to interpret the key specified in the Key property. The following options are available: System default, Unicode, Unicode (Big-Endian), Unicode (UTF-32), Unicode (UTF-32 Big-Endian), US-ASCII, Western European (ISO), and Unicode (UTF-8).
• Continue On Error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
  Note: If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the Continue On Error property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.

Output

• Hash - Reference to the hashed file stored in a String variable for use in other activities.

• Continue On Error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
  Note: If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the Continue On Error property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.
• DisplayName - The display name of the activity.

Input

• Algorithm - A drop-down menu which enables you to select the keyed hashing algorithm you want to use. The following options are available: HMACMD5 (Non-FIPS), HMACRIPEMD160 (Non-FIPS), HMACSHA1, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, HMACSHA512, and MACTRipleDES.
• File path - The path to the file you want to hash.
• Key - The key that you want to use to hash the specified file. This field supports only strings and String variables.
• Key Secure String - The secure string used to hash the input string.

Misc

• Private - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

Output

• Result - Reference to the hashed file to be used in other activities.
