step crypto hash

Name

step crypto hash -- generate and check hashes of files and directories

Usage

step crypto hash <subcommand> [arguments] [global-flags] [subcommand-flags]

Description

step crypto hash command group provides facilities for generating and checking hashes of files and directories.

Examples

SHA-256 digest and compare of a file:

$ step crypto hash digest foo.crt
1d14bfeab8532f0fca6220f6a870d069496798e92520c4437e13b9921a3cb7f3  foo.crt

$ step crypto hash compare 1d14bfeab8532f0fca6220f6a870d069496798e92520c4437e13b9921a3cb7f3 foo.crt
ok

SHA-1 digest and compare of a directory:

$ step crypto hash digest --alg sha1 config/
d419284e29382983683c294f9593183f7e00961b  config/

$ step crypto hash compare --alg sha1 d419284e29382983683c294f9593183f7e00961b config
ok

MD5 of a file:

$ step crypto hash digest --alg md5 --insecure foo.crt
a2c5dae8eae7d116019f0478e8b0a35a  foo.crt

SHA-512/256 of a list of files:

$ find . -type f | xargs step crypto hash digest --alg sha512-256

Compare a previously created checksum file:

$ find path -type f | xargs step crypto hash digest --alg sha512-256 > checksums.txt

$ cat checksums.txt | xargs -n 2 step crypto hash compare --alg sha512-256
