step crypto hash compare

Name

step crypto hash compare -- verify the hash digest for a file or directory matches an expected value

Usage

step crypto hash compare <hash> <file-or-directory>
[--alg ALGORITHM]

Description

step crypto hash compare verifies that the expected hash value matches the computed hash value for a file or directory.

For examples, see step help crypto hash.

Positional arguments

hash The expected hash digest

file-or-directory The path to a file or directory to hash.

Options

--alg=algorithm The hash algorithm to use.

algorithm must be one of:

  • sha1 (or sha): SHA-1 produces a 160-bit hash value

  • sha224: SHA-224 produces a 224-bit hash value

  • sha256 (default): SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash value

  • sha384: SHA-384 produces a 384-bit hash value

  • sha512: SHA-512 produces a 512-bit hash value

  • sha512-224: SHA-512/224 produces a 224-bit hash value

  • sha512-256: SHA-512/256 produces a 256-bit hash value

  • md5 (requires --insecure): MD5 produces a 128-bit hash value
