How do i check the sha message digest checksum?



  • Read a good SHA outline here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    The "message" is what you put through a Cryptographic Hash Algorithm, and the result output is the "message digest".

    For instance to check the sha512 of a SHA value generated with the sha512sum command, do the following; here were checking the elasticsearch-6.4.3.tar.gz file.

    $ sha512sum elasticsearch-6.4.3.tar.gz
