Generates a hash digest of the provided data.
The parameters for the digest operation.
A Promise which will be fulfilled with the hash digest.
The digest() method of the Hasher interface generates a hash digest of the
input data.
A digest is the output of the hash function. It's a fixed-size string of bytes that uniquely represents the data input into the hash function. The digest is often used for data integrity checks, as any alteration in the input data results in a significantly different digest.
It typically takes the data to digest as input and returns the digest of the data.
The
Hasherinterface provides a method for generating digests of data using hash functions. It defines the core functiondigest()for processing variable-size input data to produce a fixed-size output (the "digest") which uniquely represents the input data.This method operates asynchronously and returns a digest, often used for data integrity checks. The interface can be implemented with various hash algorithms and their unique parameters.
The interface is designed to accommodate byte array input data but can be extended to support other input types as needed.
