Thanks for your replies!

 

Yes what I am trying to do is to verify that the on-chain hash matches the pre-image value. 

 

I am trying by just converting the value to string as Brett suggests, but I get a string with some unknown characters, like it is broken.

 

"147 141 21 229 178 55 109 221 21 1 25 145 174 255 249 181 206 109 138 135 215 1 190 31 167 101 233 126 69 157 219 182]

�� ��7m� ������m��� � �e�~E�۶

 

So I thought I was doing something wrong. Any suggestions on what is going wrong here?

 

Harris

A hash is a one way operation, so if you are trying to convert the hash back into the pre-image, it cannot be done (that's the whole point!). But you can verify that the on-chain hash matches some known pre-image value, by taking a sha256 hash of the value and comparing the two, either inside the chaincode, or on client side. Here's a sample of how to do the verification within chaincode:

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to check the hash on the ledger, produced by the private data collection, I use the GetPrivateDataHash function in the chaincode, which returns the hash in bytes.

How can I umarshal and convert this to string? Do I need to know the bytes encoding structure?

Thanks,
Harris
