Base64sha512

base64sha512 Function

base64sha512 computes the SHA512 hash of a given string and encodes it with Base64. This is not equivalent to base64encode(sha512("test")) since sha512() returns hexadecimal representation.

The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA512 algorithm is applied as defined in RFC 4634 (opens in a new tab). The raw hash is then encoded with Base64 before returning. OpenTofu uses the "standard" Base64 alphabet as defined in RFC 4648 section 4 (opens in a new tab).

Examples
