Convert C# function to Elixir

this is the function that I am trying to convert to Elixir:

private static byte[] HashBody(string content)
   {
       var contentBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content);

       using (var provider = new SHA256Managed())
       {
          var hash = provider.ComputeHash(contentBytes);
          return hash;
        }
    }

My attempt:

content = %{
  "id" => "123",
  "name" => "Jaqob"
} |> Poison.encode!

digest = :crypto.hash(:sha256, content)

I want to convert content variable to bytes which is where I am stuck, also is the hashing function correct?

BTW, just FYI and FWIW, a bit more idiomatic Elixir would be:

def test(conn, _params) do
  raw_skey = File.read!("/home/danish/www/apis/signtest/keys/private_key.pem")

  [enc_skey] = :public_key.pem_decode(raw_skey)
  skey = :public_key.pem_entry_decode(enc_skey)

  string = ~s("MachineName":"DESKTOP-04VG548","Userame":"inder","Timestamp":"2018-10-26T20:58:48.7840832Z"})

  signature =
    string
    |> :public_key.sign(:sha256, skey,  rsa_padding: :rsa_pkcs1_padding)
    |> Base.encode64

  IO.puts("signature")
  IO.inspect(signature)
  json conn, "ok"
end

I think @easco’s answer is pretty much correct, but I’m guessing what you’re after is maybe a list of bytes? Since your C# code returns an array of bytes? You can use :erlang.binary_to_list/1 on digest to convert the binary to a list.

This line (above) is unnecessary: your call to :public_key.sign already calculates a SHA256 over the input, so right now the input string is hashed twice. Just pass string instead of msg to the sign function.

Your content variable is already a Binary (an Elixir string is a Binary) so it is already “bytes”.

Your code looks complete to me. Where are you having problems?

How about using :erlang.term_to_binary/1? With this you can work with any data you want unlike Poison.
