SHA1

The FireflyAIO Lua API includes a SHA1 function that allows you to hash a text using the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm. This function converts the input text into a 40-character hexadecimal string, which is the SHA-1 hash representation of the original text.

Using the SHA1 Function

The SHA1 function is straightforward to use. You simply pass the text you want to hash as an argument, and the function returns the SHA-1 hash.

Here is an example of how to use the SHA1 function:

-- Hash the input text using SHA1
local hashedText = SHA1("your_text_here")

-- Print the hashed text
Debug(hashedText)

Example

If you hash the text "example" using the SHA1 function:

local hashedText = SHA1("example")
Debug(hashedText)  -- Output will be: "5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8"

Usage Scenarios

• Password Storage: Hashing passwords before storing them to enhance security.

• Data Integrity: Generating a hash to verify the integrity of data.

• Digital Signatures: Creating digital signatures by hashing data before signing it.

By using the SHA1 function, you can securely hash texts within your custom checkers in FireflyAIO, ensuring that sensitive information is protected and data integrity is maintained.
