Developed by Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS), this <strong>SHS<\/strong> includes four main types such as SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and SHA-0. Depending on the length of the data, each message will be converted into different types of <strong>SHS<\/strong>. For example, for the length under 264 bit, the output will be SHA-1 and SHA-256 while the result of the input under 2128 bits will be SHA-384 and SHA-512.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four hash algorithms allow the users to correspond with any digested message or finding two messages producing the same message digest. However, the <strong>Secure Hash Signature Standard<\/strong> is a one-way function so the users cannot the redo the change or generate back the input. Although SHA-1 is the most popular algorithm, the other strings are usually converted into different types of data such as SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"liquid-hmac_sha256-how-to-convert-string-to-hmac_sha256-hash-in-shopify\">Liquid hmac_sha256: How to Convert String to Hmac_sha256 Hash in Shopify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#sha-256\">About SHA-256<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#guide-to-convert-string-to-sha-256\">The way to convert string to SHA-256<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sha-256\">About SHA-256<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of the families of SHA-2, SHA-256 has all those features of a <strong>Secure Hash Signature Standard<\/strong>. Different with <strong>SHA-512<\/strong> in block sizes, <strong>SHA-256<\/strong> is considered as a useful algorithm because it increases the security of online seller\u2019s stores especially when it is used with the cryptographic algorithms such as a digital signature or keyed-hash message. With 256-bit hash function, it helps the Shopify store owners to achieve high probability by changing data into a message or different messages. Besides, there is a cut version of <strong>SHA-256<\/strong> which has the same code is SHA-224 algorithm. This is one of the other choices for short string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Converts a string into an SHA-256 hash using a hash message authentication code (HMAC). Pass the secret key for the message as a parameter to the filter. This guiding article <strong>Liquid hmac_sha256: How to Convert String to Hmac_sha256 Hash in Shopify<\/strong> helps the store owners to change the form of the string into this <strong>SHA-256<\/strong>. With the simple steps, we believe that even the Shopify beginners also can do it by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guide-to-convert-string-to-sha-256\">The way to convert string to SHA-256<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#step-1\">Step 1: Input<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#step-2\">Step 2: Output<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1\">Step 1: Input<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After accessing the Shopify admin dashboard by logging in the Shopify app, the Shopify store owners continue by copying those below codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Input<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<pre class=\"highlight\"><code>{% assign my_secret_string = \"ShopifyIsAwesome!\" | hmac_sha256: \"secret_key\" %}\nMy encoded string is: {{ my_secret_string }}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2: Input<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is like that<br><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">My encoded string is: 30ab3459e46e7b209b45dba8378fcbba67297304<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this functionality, the <strong>SHA-256<\/strong> plays a role as a benchmark to compare hashed versions of texts. Although <strong>SHA-256<\/strong> is not as strong as SHA-1, its function is much more simple. Therefore, online sellers are easy to transfer their string into this type of algorithm.
