Unable to obtain the same sha256 hash in python and javascript

Question

I am following the steps to call a PSD2 endpoint, base64 code the message, then get SHA256 to obtain the Hash from it and get the base64 of the hash. I am using the same values of the examples to check if I am doing it right. They also provide a website with a js library to check the result.

Expected Output:

pfHPQFso5E7SlQfg9kSVhZuod4k9KnFFEtFs472L5WI=

What I am doing:

import base64
import hashlib


# get_input returns the input base64 in bytes
result = base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha256(get_input()).digest())

In that case, the result is:

b'JRtx3taNOfx00oj2xuyoAxocxfJnL/wEXLYf9+t9jCk='

Instead of the expected result.

, so I assume the input is correct.，因此我假设输入是正确的。 But with hashlib there are not input type options. So my question is: What I have to do to get the expected output with that input in python?

Answer 1

The website is decoding the input string from base64, hashing it, and then encoding the hash as base64.

>>> s = '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'
>>> decoded = base64.b64decode(s)
>>> hash_ = hashlib.sha256(decoded)
>>> r = base64.b64encode(hash_.digest())
>>> r.decode()
'pfHPQFso5E7SlQfg9kSVhZuod4k9KnFFEtFs472L5WI='

Answer 2

Try to decode the result:

result = base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha256("hi".encode()).digest())
print(result)
print(result.decode('utf-8'))

Output:

b'j0NDRmSPa5bfid2pAcUXaxCm2Dlh3TwayItZstwyeqQ='
j0NDRmSPa5bfid2pAcUXaxCm2Dlh3TwayItZstwyeqQ=
