Add Apache Commons Codec Dependency to Java project

To use Apache Commons Codec library in the Gradle build project, add the following dependency into the build.gradle file. 

implementation group: 'commons-codec', name: 'commons-codec', version: '1.15'

To use the Apache Commons Codec library in the Maven build project, add the following dependency into the pom.xml file. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-codec</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId>
    <version>1.15</version>
</dependency>

Convert String to SHA3-224 Hash in Java

The Apache Commons Codec library provides method DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex() can be used to calculate the SHA3-224 hash and return value as a hex string. 

String hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex(inputData);

In the following Java program, we show how to use DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex() method to hash an input String to SHA3-224 hash as a hex string.

Sha3224Example1.java 

import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils;

public class Sha3224Example1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        String inputData = "Simple Solution";

        String hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex(inputData);

        System.out.println("Input String:" + inputData);
        System.out.println("SHA3-224:" + hashedValue);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Input String:Simple Solution
SHA3-224:582dbbfb0c0f05868717d55b34d3394affce780b1abe7fdceb27e315

Generate File SHA3-224 Checksum Hash String in Java

Apache Commons Codec library provides the DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex() method to generate SHA3-224 hash for an InputStream as below. 

String hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex(inputStream);

For example, we have a document file at D:\SimpleSolution\Document.doc

The following Java program to show you how to use the DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex() to generate SHA3-224 checksum hash for a given file and return SHA3-224 hash value as a hex string.

Sha3224Example2.java 

import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class Sha3224Example2 {
    public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
        String filePath = "D:\\SimpleSolution\\Document.docx";

        InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(filePath);
        String hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224Hex(inputStream);

        System.out.println("SHA3-224:" + hashedValue);
    }
}
The output as below. 
SHA3-224:1a35057a8954a87d9d73d28a598f4e58cca9cd84d7e81a5a0b6d2ac6

Generate SHA3-224 Hash as Bytes Array

The Apache Commons Codec library also provides DigestUtils.sha3_224() method to calculate SHA3-224 hash and return value as a byte[] array. 

byte[] hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224(inputData);

The following Java example program to show you how to use the DigestUtils.sha3_224() method to hash a String to a SHA3-224 hash value as byte[] array.

Sha3224Example3.java 

import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Sha3224Example3 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        String inputData = "Simple Solution";

        byte[] hashedValue = DigestUtils.sha3_224(inputData);

        System.out.println("Input String:" + inputData);
        System.out.println("SHA3-224 as bytes:" + Arrays.toString(hashedValue));
    }
}
The output as below. 
Input String:Simple Solution
SHA3-224 as bytes:[88, 45, -69, -5, 12, 15, 5, -122, -121, 23, -43, 91, 52, -45, 57, 74, -1, -50, 120, 11, 26, -66, 127, -36, -21, 39, -29, 21]

Get Instance of java.security.MessageDigest for SHA3-224 Hash Algorithm

Using Apache Commons Codec we can use the DigestUtils.getSha3_224Digest() method to return instance of SHA3-224 java.security.MessageDigest and use it to calculate the SHA3-224 hash as following Java program.

Sha3224Example4.java 

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex;
import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils;

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.security.MessageDigest;

public class Sha3224Example4 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        String inputData = "Simple Solution";

        MessageDigest messageDigest = DigestUtils.getSha3_224Digest();
        byte[] hashedBytes = messageDigest.digest(inputData.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        String hashedValue = Hex.encodeHexString(hashedBytes);

        System.out.println("Input String:" + inputData);
        System.out.println("SHA3-224:" + hashedValue);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Input String:Simple Solution
SHA3-224:582dbbfb0c0f05868717d55b34d3394affce780b1abe7fdceb27e315
