Sha512

The Sha512() function hashes a specified text string with SHA512, and returns a hexadecimal text string. This hash function is preferred to SHA-256, being more secure.

WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

This function is NOT SQL compatible. For more information about SQL compatibility, see our documentation.

Hashed values cannot be decoded, usually you check an incoming value against a known value that you hash yourself and check if both values are identical, to verify correctness without knowing the actual value.

If you save this value to a database field make sure this field length is more then 128 digits, to make sure the whole string is saved.

Returns a hexadecimal text string. Returns Unknown if one of the parameter values is unknown or outside the common valid boundaries.
