One-way hash function in R [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• how to create md5 hash of a column in R? 3 answers

Is there a repeatable one-way hash function in R? I'd use hashlib in Python:

hashlib.sha224("This is my input").hexdigest()

Answer 1

If you have the digest pacakge installed, you can do

digest::digest("This is my input")
# [1] "2e936bb276abca8a9e46bd32c7bdc01e"

(by default the result is returned as ASCII hex values). See the ?digest help page for a list of supported hashing algorithms.

Answer 2

You might want to have a look at the digest package.
