use_hex Property

Whether HashValue and HashSignature are hex encoded.

Syntax

def get_use_hex() -> bool: ...
def set_use_hex(value: bool) -> None: ...

use_hex = property(get_use_hex, set_use_hex)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property specifies whether hash_value and hash_signature are hex encoded.

If set to True, when sign is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate hash_value with the hex encoded hash value. It will then create the hash signature and populate hash_signature with the hex encoded hash signature value. If hash_value is specified directly it must be a hex encoded value.

If set to True, when verify_signature is called the class will compute the hash value for the specified file and populate hash_value with the hex encoded hash value. It will then hex decode hash_signature and verify the signature. hash_signature must hold a hex encoded value. If hash_value is specified directly it must be a hex encoded value.
