您可以通过以下方式使用MessageDigest:

public static String getSHA256(String data){
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    try{
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        md.update(data.getBytes());
        byte byteData[] = md.digest();

        for (int i = 0; i < byteData.length; i++) {
         sb.append(Integer.toString((byteData[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
        }
    } catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

import java.security.MessageDigest;

public class CodeSnippets {

 public static String getSha256(String value) {
    try{
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        md.update(value.getBytes());
        return bytesToHex(md.digest());
    } catch(Exception ex){
        throw new RuntimeException(ex);
    }
 }
 private static String bytesToHex(byte[] bytes) {
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
    for (byte b : bytes) result.append(Integer.toString((b & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
    return result.toString();
 }
}

SHA-256不是“编码”——它是单向哈希。

你基本上可以将字符串转换为字节(例如使用text.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))，然后哈希字节。注意，哈希的结果也可能是任意二进制数据，如果你想在字符串中表示它，你应该使用base64或十六进制…不要尝试使用String(byte[]， String)构造函数。

e.g.

MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte[] hash = digest.digest(text.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

这是我用于哈希的:

String pass = "password";

MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte hashBytes[] = messageDigest.digest(pass.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
BigInteger noHash = new BigInteger(1, hashBytes);
String hashStr = noHash.toString(16);

输出:5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

完整的例子哈希字符串作为另一个字符串。

public static String sha256(final String base) {
    try{
        final MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        final byte[] hash = digest.digest(base.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        final StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < hash.length; i++) {
            final String hex = Integer.toHexString(0xff & hash[i]);
            if(hex.length() == 1) 
              hexString.append('0');
            hexString.append(hex);
        }
        return hexString.toString();
    } catch(Exception ex){
       throw new RuntimeException(ex);
    }
}

我认为最简单的解决方案是使用Apache Common Codec:

String sha256hex = org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils.sha256Hex(stringText);
