The algorithm to use to
hash the string. Supported are the following algorithms:
- CFMX_COMPAT: generating a
hash string using classic CFML algorithm.
- MD5: (default) Generates a 32-character, hexadecimal string, using the MD5 algorithm.
- SHA: Generates a 28-character string using the Secure
Hash Standard SHA-1 algorithm specified by Nation Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-180-2.
- SHA-256: Generates a 44-character string using the SHA-256 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2.
- SHA-384: Generates a 64-character string using the SHA-384 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2.
- SHA-512: Generates an 88-character string using the SHA-1 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2.
