nalpEncrypt: SHA1 Hash Length and Documentation

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:03PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

I've recently been working with nlapiEncrypt to encrypt credit card numbers and I found two anomolies that others may find helpful to know about.  Defect #- 199062 has been filed to address this situation.

First, nlapiEncrypt does not consistently return a 40 character enrypted string for SHA-1.

E.g., nlapiEncrypt("hello").length ==> 40 and nlapiEncrypt("hello world").length ==> 39. I've also seen instances where the hash string was 38 characters.

SHA-1 specification states the that the resultant hash is to be 160 bits.  Since nlapiEncrypt returns a a hexadecimal string representation of the hash, it should always be 40 characters even if the numeric representation of the hash has leading zeros.

Howdy, Stranger!
