# `base64sha256` Function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`base64sha256` computes the SHA256 hash of a given string and encodes it with
|
||
|
|
Base64.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA256 algorithm is applied
|
||
|
|
as defined in [RFC 4634](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4634). The raw hash is
|
||
|
|
then encoded with Base64 before returning. Terraform uses the "standard" Base64
|
||
|
|
alphabet as defined in [RFC 4648 section 4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-4).

in a more-verbose hexadecimal encoding.
