What is DigestUtils sha256 encoding equivalent from JavaScript?

Question

I call following and create the password hash.

ByteString password = ByteString.copyFrom(DigestUtils.sha256("mypassword"));

But now I need to send the sha256 converted password message from client (JavaScript). I tired to use CryptoJS as following

 var pass = CryptoJS.SHA256(document.getElementById('password').value); var passhash = pass.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Latin1) login(passhash);

I tried all Base64, Latin1, and Hex types to get the string. But it will not produce the same password as the one in Java

But sha is fixed. Its used in server side authentication. May be next time :) — dinesh707

Problem was with character encoding. Following fixed the problem.

in JS:

var password = pass.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf16);

In Java:

byte[] passhash = jsCryptoString.getBytes("UTF-16BE");
