Synopsis

Functions

Static functions

Detailed Description

QCryptographicHash can be used to generate cryptographic hashes of binary or text data.

Refer to the documentation of the Algorithm enum for a list of the supported algorithms.

class PySide2.QtCore.QCryptographicHash(method)
param method:

Algorithm

Constructs an object that can be used to create a cryptographic hash from data using method .

PySide2.QtCore.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 .
