How to Do Hashing String with SHA-256

It will use SHA-256 hashing algorithm to generate a hash value for a password “123456″.

package org.best.example;
 
import java.security.MessageDigest;
 
public class SHAHashingExample 
{
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
    {
     String password = "123456";
 
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        md.update(password.getBytes());
 
        byte byteData[] = md.digest();
 
        //convert the byte to hex format method 1
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < byteData.length; i++) {
         sb.append(Integer.toString((byteData[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
        }
 
        System.out.println("Hex format : " + sb.toString());
 
        //convert the byte to hex format method 2
        StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();
     for (int i=0;i<byteData.length;i++) {
      String hex=Integer.toHexString(0xff & byteData[i]);
          if(hex.length()==1) hexString.append('0');
          hexString.append(hex);
     }
     System.out.println("Hex format : " + hexString.toString());
    }
}

Output

Hex format : 8d969eef6ecad3c29a3a629280e686cf0c3f5d5a86aff3ca12020c923adc6c92
Hex format : 8d969eef6ecad3c29a3a629280e686cf0c3f5d5a86aff3ca12020c923adc6c92
