SHA512

This function converts the specified string into a SHA512 hex value hash.

Arguments

SHA512(1,2)

Ordinal Type Required Description
1 String True String to convert
2 String False Character set to use for character-encoding. Valid values are UTF-8 (default) and UTF-16
NOTE: The results of the SHA512 hash are considered one-way, meaning they cannot be decrypted.

Example

%%[

var @emailAddress
var @SHA512EmailAddressUTF8
var @SHA512EmailAddressUTF16

set @emailAddress = AttributeValue("emailAddr") /* value from attribute or DE column in send context */
set @emailAddress = "barb@limedash.com" /* or a literal value */
set @SHA512EmailAddressUTF8  = SHA512(@emailAddress)
set @SHA512EmailAddressUTF16  = SHA512(@emailAddress, "UTF-16")

]%%
emailAddress: %%=v(@emailAddress)=%%
<br>SHA512EmailAddressUTF8: %%=v(@SHA512EmailAddressUTF8)=%%
<br>SHA512EmailAddressUTF16: %%=v(@SHA512EmailAddressUTF16)=%%
Copy

Output
