Hashing with SHA1 Algorithm in C#
I want to hash given byte[]
array with using SHA1
Algorithm with the use of SHA1Managed
.
The byte[]
hash will come from unit test.
Expected hash is 0d71ee4472658cd5874c5578410a9d8611fc9aef
(case sensitive).
How can I achieve this?
public string Hash(byte [] temp)
{
using (SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed())
{
}
}
For those who want a "standard" text formatting of the hash, you can use something like the following:
static string Hash(string input)
{
using (SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed())
{
var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input));
var sb = new StringBuilder(hash.Length * 2);
foreach (byte b in hash)
{
// can be "x2" if you want lowercase
sb.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
}
return sb.ToString();
}
}
This will produce a hash like 0C2E99D0949684278C30B9369B82638E1CEAD415
.
Or for a code golfed version:
static string Hash(string input)
{
var hash = new SHA1Managed().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input));
return string.Concat(hash.Select(b => b.ToString("x2")));
}
public string Hash(byte [] temp)
{
using (SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed())
{
var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(temp);
return Convert.ToBase64String(hash);
}
}
EDIT:
You could also specify the encoding when converting the byte array to string as follows:
return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(hash);
or
return System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(hash);
This is what I went with. For those of you who want to optimize, check out https://stackoverflow.com/a/624379/991863.
public static string Hash(string stringToHash)
{
using (var sha1 = new SHA1Managed())
{
return BitConverter.ToString(sha1.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToHash)));
}
}
You can "compute the value for the specified byte array" using ComputeHash
:
var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(temp);
If you want to analyse the result in string representation, then you will need to format the bytes using the {0:X2}
format specifier.
Fastest way is this :
public static string GetHash(string input)
{
return string.Join("", (new SHA1Managed().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input))).Select(x => x.ToString("X2")).ToArray());
}
For Small character output use x2
in replace of of X2
