Here is short code snippet to create a SHA1 hash in C#. The only difficult is to convert from string to byte array and back again. So i have to method, one accept the byte array direct and returns a byte array, the second method handles the convert from string to byte array and back again. Don’t forget to add the required using:
using System.Security.Cryptography;
And here is the code to create the SHA1 in C#:
public static string GetSha1(string text)
{
if (text == null)
{
return string.Empty;
}
byte[] message = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(text);
byte[] hashValue = GetSha1(message);
string hashString = string.Empty;
foreach (byte x in hashValue)
{
hashString += string.Format("{0:x2}", x);
}
return hashString;
}
private static byte[] GetSha1(byte[] message)
{
SHA1Managed hashString = new SHA1Managed();
return hashString.ComputeHash(message);
}
