k6/crypto

Note

A module with a better and standard API exists.

The new k6/experimental/webcrypto API partially implements the WebCryptoAPI, supporting more features than k6/crypto.

The k6/crypto module provides common hashing functionality available in the GoLang crypto package.

FunctionDescription
createHash(algorithm)Create a Hasher object, allowing the user to add data to hash multiple times, and extract hash digests along the way.
createHMAC(algorithm, secret)Create an HMAC hashing object, allowing the user to add data to hash multiple times, and extract hash digests along the way.
hmac(algorithm, secret, data, outputEncoding)Use HMAC to sign an input string.
md4(input, outputEncoding)Use MD4 to hash an input string.
md5(input, outputEncoding)Use MD5 to hash an input string.
randomBytes(int)Return an array with a number of cryptographically random bytes.
ripemd160(input, outputEncoding)Use RIPEMD-160 to hash an input string.
sha1(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-1 to hash an input string.
sha256(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-256 to hash an input string.
sha384(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-384 to hash an input string.
sha512(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-512 to hash an input string.
sha512_224(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-512/224 to hash an input string.
sha512_256(input, outputEncoding)Use SHA-512/256 to hash an input string.
ClassDescription
HasherObject returned by crypto.createHash(). It allows adding more data to be hashed and to extract digests along the way.
