import com.springcryptoutils.core.digest.Digester;
public class MyDigester {
@Autowired
private Digester digester;
public void myBusinessMethod() {
String digest = digester.digest("eat me!");
// OR, if you prefer obtaining the raw bytes, regardless of outputMode specified
byte[] digestRawBytes = digester.digest("eat me!".getBytes("UTF-8"));
}
}
