When I need a CSP Hash?

If you are already implemented the Content-Security-Policy header and want to use inline scripts and/or styles but don't want to use the 'unsafe-inline' directive. Then probably you will see a similar error in DevTools console.

What's a CSP Hash?

It's a string composed of two parts connected by a dash with each other - the cryptographic algorithm used to create the hash value (message digest) and base64-encoded hash of a script or style.

How to generate a CSP Hash?

To generate a CSP hash with PHP use the following code snippet:


<?php

$algo = 'sha256';

$data = "console.log('Hello World');"; # This is your inline JS/CSS without the <script>/<style> tags

$base64 = base64_encode(hash($algo, $data, true));

echo "$algo-$base64";

# sha256-4saCEHt0PuLiuYPF+oVKJcY5vrrl+WqXYIoq3HAH4vg=

?>

Where to use CSP hashes?

Append this hash to the script-src or style-src directives of your Content-Security-Policy header. This is how to send an HTTP response header:

CSP header with Apache:

Header set Content-Security-Policy "script-src 'sha256-4saCEHt0PuLiuYPF+oVKJcY5vrrl+WqXYIoq3HAH4vg='"

CSP header with PHP:
<?php header("Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'sha256-4saCEHt0PuLiuYPF+oVKJcY5vrrl+WqXYIoq3HAH4vg='"); ?>
