Automation Workshop includes the Compute File Checksum Action that calculates file hashes in the most popular formats, such as SHA-256, MD5, CRC32, and more. Hashes or checksums are used to verify file integrity and to ensure that file data has not been modified.
Features & highlights
- It supports the most popular cryptographic hash checksum formats: SHA-512, SHA-384, SHA-256, SHA-224, SHA-1, MD5, and CRC32.
- Very fast checksum computing.
- It can process files of virtually unlimited size.
- It generates checksums both in upper and lower case.
Usage examples
- Used together with the List Files and For Each Actions, allows to check file hashes and checksums for a large number of files in an automated manner.
- Automatically calculate a hash value (for instance, a SHA-512 string) of a file right after it was created or modified—by using the File & Folder Watcher Trigger.
- A file hash or checksum can be calculated automatically after a file is downloaded from the remote FTP server or Amazon S3 file storage to ensure its integrity.
Documentation
