Online SHA384 Hash Generator

I have been given a set of steps to obtain a hash of data. I have trying to comprehend the steps for quite long now, but the hash that I am getting doesn't seem to match expected hash.

The steps that was mentioned is as follows:

1. Use the FIN message input as a binary value (unsigned char in C language, byte in Java). The FIN message input must be coded in the ASCII character set.
2. Combine the left LAU key and the right LAU key as one string. The merged LAU key must be used as a binary value (unsigned char in C language, byte in Java). The merged LAU key must be coded in the ASCII character set.
3. Call a HMAC256 routine to compute the hash value. The hash value must also be treated as a binary value (unsigned char in C language, byte in Java). The hmac size is 32 bytes.
4. Convert the hmac binary values to uppercase hexadecimal printable characters (for example, a onebyte binary value of 0000 1010 has a hexadecimal value of 0x0A and will be translated to the twobyte characters “0A”).

This is what I have tried.

It will be really helpful if someone can point whats wrong with the implementation.

I am trying to practice java cryptography, but I noticed when I try to get the byte array of certain strings the byte array is always the same, why is this?

Here is my code snippet :

import java.security.MessageDigest;import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;public class Main {    public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");            String message = "you are welcome";            messageDigest.update(message.getBytes());            byte[] md = messageDigest.digest();            System.out.println(md);        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {            System.out.println("no such algorithm");            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}

and no matter the value of my message variable, the result always printed out is [B@1540e19d

but what makes me more curious is when I convert my byte[] md into hex values,

    import java.security.MessageDigest;import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;public class Main {    public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");            String message = "thank you";            messageDigest.update(message.getBytes());            byte[] md = messageDigest.digest();            System.out.println(md);            //Converting the byte array in to HexString format            StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();            for (int i = 0;i< md.length;i++) {                hexString.append(Integer.toHexString(0xFF & md[i]));            }            System.out.println("Hex format : " + hexString.toString());        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {            System.out.println("no such algorithm");            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}

it produces totally different values for my StringBuffer hexString even the byte[] md is the same for two different strings. Please, could someone explain?

Before I did what I am going to explain everything worked fine.

I needed to get my app SHA1 and I followed the instructions of this post:

SHA-1 fingerprint of keystore certificate

Specifically I:

• Clicked on the "Gradle" menu on the right of Android Studio
• Navigated :app > Tasks > Android
• Double clicked on "signingReport" menu voice

Indeed the command "signingReport" was executed and in the console I got SHA1 code (both for debug and for release).

My problem is that right now I am not able to debug my app in the device anymore.
If I click on the "Debug" button of the top menu of Android Studio it calls "signingReport" command execute, instead of let me choose the device to debug app with.

I do not know howto comeback to the previous debug option.

UPDATED

I solved: what I've done is just going to the "Gradle" menu on the right and delete all "Run configuration" voices that Android Studio created after I run the command.

I'm trying to use Postman to send a GET http request which contains a parameter which is dynamically generated by taking the full request query string (everything to the right of the question mark in the URL, after URL encoding), concatenating a previously assigned shared secret key, and then performing a SHA-1 hash of the resulting string.

I would use a Pre-request Script to achieve this.

Thank you.

I'm currently developing an application for Android and I'm using Google Maps API. In developer console, I added my SHA1 certificate print, followed by my package name.Even though I put this SHA1 certificate print using keytool, I can't access to the maps.I made lots of search, but every topics brought me to answers where error were in a wrong API Key in developer console.But I took the right SHA1, the one of my certificate.

Thanks in advance !
