Cryptographic

Cryptographic functions return hashes in bytes, so you need to convert your bytes to a Base64-encoded string to send your data to a Splunk Enterprise index. See the base64_encode scalar function.

md5

This function computes and returns the MD5 hash of a byte value X. Because this function takes bytes as its input, first use the to_bytes conversion function to convert your string into a byte string.

Function Input

bytes

Function Output

bytes

DSL example:

md5(bytes);

sha1

This function computes returns the secure hash of a byte value X based on the FIPS compliant SHA-1 hash function. Because this function takes bytes as its input, first use the to_bytes conversion function to convert your string into a byte string.

Function Input

bytes

Function Output

bytes

DSL example:

sha1(bytes);

sha256

This function computes and returns the secure hash of a byte value X based on the FIPS compliant SHA-256 hash function. Because this function takes bytes as its input, first use the to_bytes conversion function to convert your string into a byte string.

Function Input

bytes

Function Output

bytes

DSL example:

sha256(bytes);

sha512

This function computes and returns the secure hash of a byte value X based on the FIPS compliant SHA-512 hash function. Because this function takes bytes as its input, first use the to_bytes conversion function to convert your string into a byte string.

Function Input

bytes

Function Output

bytes

DSL example:

sha512(bytes);
