Frends.Cryptography.GenerateHash / 2.0.0

Summary

Computes a digest of a string with a chosen algorithm, keyed or unkeyed, returning it in text form. A keyed hash authenticates the sender as well as detecting change; an unkeyed one only detects change.

Typical use — checksums over payloads in transit, and the signature step for APIs that authenticate requests with a shared secret
