You can use an SHA256 hash file to check the integrity of the files downloaded by a device. The SHA256 checksum of a file to be downloaded is saved in the SHA256 hash file before the file is downloaded. After the file is downloaded, the device generates an SHA256 checksum using the downloaded file and compares it with that in the SHA256 hash file. If the checksums are different, the file fails the integrity check and will not be loaded by the device.
The SHA256 hash file must be suffixed with .txt, in the format shown in .
You can use either of the following methods to generate an SHA256 checksum for a script file:
The SHA256 checksum in the following file is only an example.
The SHA256 algorithm can be used to verify the integrity of files. This algorithm has high security.
