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
QCryptographicHash::QCryptographicHash(QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Constructs an object that can be used to create a cryptographic hash from data using method.
QCryptographicHash::~QCryptographicHash()
Destroys the object.
void QCryptographicHash::addData(const char *data, int length)
Adds the first length chars of data to the cryptographic hash.
void QCryptographicHash::addData(const QByteArray &data)
This function overloads addData().
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.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.
[static] QByteArray QCryptographicHash::hash(const QByteArray &data, QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Returns the hash of data using method.
[static] int QCryptographicHash::hashLength(QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method)
Returns the size of the output of the selected hash method in bytes.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.
void QCryptographicHash::reset()
Resets the object.
QByteArray QCryptographicHash::result() const
Returns the final hash value.
