Cryptographic Hash Functions in Oracle

1) ORA_HASH() Function.

ORA_HASH( expr, max_bucket, seed_value)

• The optional max_bucket argument determines the maximum bucket value returned by the hash function. You can specify any value between 0 and 4294967295. The default is 4294967295.
• The optional seed_value argument enables Oracle to produce many different results for the same set of data. Oracle applies the hash function to the combination of expr and seed_value. You can specify any value between 0 and 4294967295. The default is 0.

ORA_HASH function returns a NUMBER value.

SQL>  select ora_hash('Hello World !') from dual;

ORA_HASH('HELLOWORLD!')
-----------------------
             3256043700

2) STANDARD_HASH ( expr, ‘method’), which is available from 12.1 onward.

Valid method algorithms are SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, and MD5. If you omit this argument, then SHA1 is used.

SQL> select STANDARD_HASH ( 'Hello World !') from dual;

STANDARD_HASH('HELLOWORLD!')

3) DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5() function.

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION toolkit_md5 (v_input VARCHAR2)
RETURN dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.varchar2_checksum
AS
BEGIN
      RETURN dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5(input_string => v_input);
END toolkit_md5;

4) DBMS_CRYPTO.HASH() function.

HASH_MD4   CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
HASH_MD5   CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 2;
HASH_SH1   CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 3;
HASH_SH256 CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 4;
HASH_SH384 CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 5;
HASH_SH512 CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 6;

CREATE OR REPLACE 
FUNCTION CRYPTO_HASH (v_input VARCHAR2, v_hash_typ BINARY_INTEGER) 
RETURN RAW DETERMINISTIC

   RETURN dbms_crypto.hash(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(v_input), v_hash_typ);
END CRYPTO_HASH ;
