Detailed Description
QCryptographicHash can be used to generate cryptographic hashes of binary or text data.
Refer to the documentation of the QCryptographicHash::Algorithm enum for a list of the supported algorithms.
Member Type Documentation
enum QCryptographicHash::Algorithm
Note: In Qt versions before 5.9, when asked to generate a SHA3 hash sum, QCryptographicHash actually calculated Keccak. If you need compatibility with SHA-3 hashes produced by those versions of Qt, use the Keccak_ enumerators. Alternatively, if source compatibility is required, define the macro QT_SHA3_KECCAK_COMPAT.

Member Function Documentation
[explicit] QCryptographicHash::QCryptographicHash(QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Constructs an object that can be used to create a cryptographic hash from data using method.
[since 6.5] QCryptographicHash::QCryptographicHash(QCryptographicHash &&other)
Move-constructs a new QCryptographicHash from other.
Note: The moved-from object other is placed in a partially-formed state, in which the only valid operations are destruction and assignment of a new value.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.
QCryptographicHash::~QCryptographicHash()
Destroys the object.
void QCryptographicHash::addData(QByteArrayView bytes)
Adds the characters in bytes to the cryptographic hash.
Note: In Qt versions prior to 6.3, this function took QByteArray, not QByteArrayView.
bool QCryptographicHash::addData(QIODevice *device)
Reads the data from the open QIODevice device until it ends and hashes it. Returns true if reading was successful.
[since 6.5] QCryptographicHash::Algorithm QCryptographicHash::algorithm() const
Returns the algorithm used to generate the cryptographic hash.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.
[static] QByteArray QCryptographicHash::hash(QByteArrayView data, QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Returns the hash of data using method.
Note: In Qt versions prior to 6.3, this function took QByteArray, not QByteArrayView.
[static] int QCryptographicHash::hashLength(QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Returns the size of the output of the selected hash method in bytes.
void QCryptographicHash::reset()
Resets the object.
QByteArray QCryptographicHash::result() const
Returns the final hash value.
See also resultView() and QByteArray::toHex().
[since 6.3] QByteArrayView QCryptographicHash::resultView() const
Returns the final hash value.
Note that the returned view remains valid only as long as the QCryptographicHash object is not modified by other means.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.3.
See also result().
[static, since 6.5] bool QCryptographicHash::supportsAlgorithm(QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Returns whether the selected algorithm method is supported and if result() will return a value when the method is used.
Note: OpenSSL will be responsible for providing this information when used as a provider, otherwise true will be returned as the non-OpenSSL implementation doesn't have any restrictions. We return false if we fail to query OpenSSL.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.
[since 6.5] void QCryptographicHash::swap(QCryptographicHash &other)
Swaps cryptographic hash other with this cryptographic hash. This operation is very fast and never fails.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.
[since 6.5] QCryptographicHash &QCryptographicHash::operator=(QCryptographicHash &&other)
Move-assigns other to this QCryptographicHash instance.
Note: The moved-from object other is placed in a partially-formed state, in which the only valid operations are destruction and assignment of a new value.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.
