下面是一个展示如何使用sha-256散列字符串的方法 算法和编码十六进制格式的结果。这是一种常用的散列格式，并将密码存储在数据库中:

public static String sha256(final String data) {
    try {
        final byte[] hash = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256").digest(data.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        final StringBuilder hashStr = new StringBuilder(hash.length);

        for (byte hashByte : hash)
            hashStr.append(Integer.toHexString(255 & hashByte));

        return hashStr.toString();
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

这是我用于哈希的:

String pass = "password";

MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte hashBytes[] = messageDigest.digest(pass.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
BigInteger noHash = new BigInteger(1, hashBytes);
String hashStr = noHash.toString(16);

输出:5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

String hashWith256(String textToHash) {
    MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
    byte[] byteOfTextToHash = textToHash.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    byte[] hashedByetArray = digest.digest(byteOfTextToHash);
    String encoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(hashedByetArray);
    return encoded;
}

这是我使用Kotlin的方法:

private fun getHashFromEmailString(email : String) : String{
    val charset = Charsets.UTF_8
    val byteArray = email.toByteArray(charset)
    val digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256")
    val hash = digest.digest(byteArray)

    return hash.fold("", { str, it -> str + "%02x".format(it)})
}

在Java 8中

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String password = scanner.nextLine();
scanner.close();

MessageDigest digest = null;
try {
    digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] hash = digest.digest(password.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
String encoded = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(hash);        
System.out.println(encoded.toLowerCase());

您可以通过以下方式使用MessageDigest:

public static String getSHA256(String data){
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    try{
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        md.update(data.getBytes());
        byte byteData[] = md.digest();

        for (int i = 0; i < byteData.length; i++) {
         sb.append(Integer.toString((byteData[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
        }
    } catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return sb.toString();
}
