      • calculateMd5

        public static java.lang.String calculateMd5​(java.io.File src)
        Calculate MD5 for a file.
        Parameters:
        src - The file to calculate MD5 for.
        Returns:
        The MD5 sum of a file as a 32 characters long Hex string.
      • calculateSha1

        public static java.lang.String calculateSha1​(java.io.File src)
        Calculate the SHA-1 DIGEST for a file.
        Parameters:
        src - The file to calculate SHA-1 for.
        Returns:
        The SHA-1 sum of a file as a 32 characters long Hex string.
      • calculateMd5

        public static java.lang.String calculateMd5​(java.io.InputStream instream)
        Calculates an MD5 digest on an InputStream, throwing away the data itself. Throws Alert if there is an error reading from the stream
        Parameters:
        instream - An InputStream to calculate the MD5 digest on. The contents of the stream will be consumed by this call, but the stream will not be closed.
        Returns:
        The calculated MD5 digest as a string.
      • calculateSha1

        public static java.lang.String calculateSha1​(java.io.InputStream instream)
        Calculates an SHA-1 digest on an InputStream, throwing away the data itself. Throws Alert if there is an error reading from the stream
        Parameters:
        instream - An InputStream to calculate the SHA-1 digest on. The contents of the stream will be consumed by this call, but the stream will not be closed.
        Returns:
        The calculated SHA-1 digest as a string.
      • calculateMd5

        public static java.lang.String calculateMd5​(byte[] msg)
