# `sha1` Function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sha1` computes the SHA1 hash of a given string and encodes it with
|
||
|
|
hexadecimal digits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA1 algorithm is applied
|
||
|
|
as defined in [RFC 3174](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3174). The raw hash is
|
||
|
|
then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Collision attacks have been successfully performed against this hashing
|
||
|
|
function. Before using this function for anything security-sensitive, review
|
||
|
|
relevant literature to understand the security implications.

|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> sha1("hello world")
|
