The raw hash is 17 then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning. 18 19 Collision attacks have been successfully performed against this hashing 20 function. Before using this function for anything security-sensitive, review 21 relevant literature to understand the security implications. 22 23 ## Examples 24 25 ``` 26 > sha1("hello world") 27 2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed 28 ``` 29 30 ## Related Functions 31 32 * [`filesha1`](./filesha1.html) calculates the same hash from 33 the contents of a file rather than from a string value.
