Examples

public void SampleReusableHash()
{
    // Create a string that contains the name of the hashing algorithm to use.
    String strAlgName = HashAlgorithmNames.Sha512;

    // Create a HashAlgorithmProvider object.
    HashAlgorithmProvider objAlgProv = HashAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm(strAlgName);

    // Create a CryptographicHash object. This object can be reused to continually
    // hash new messages.
    CryptographicHash objHash = objAlgProv.CreateHash();

    // Hash message 1.
    String strMsg1 = "This is message 1.";
    IBuffer buffMsg1 = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strMsg1, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf16BE);
    objHash.Append(buffMsg1);
    IBuffer buffHash1 = objHash.GetValueAndReset();

    // Hash message 2.
    String strMsg2 = "This is message 2.";
    IBuffer buffMsg2 = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strMsg2, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf16BE);
    objHash.Append(buffMsg2);
    IBuffer buffHash2 = objHash.GetValueAndReset();

    // Hash message 3.
    String strMsg3 = "This is message 3.";
    IBuffer buffMsg3 = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strMsg3, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf16BE);
    objHash.Append(buffMsg3);
    IBuffer buffHash3 = objHash.GetValueAndReset();

    // Convert the hashes to string values (for display);
    String strHash1 = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(buffHash1);
    String strHash2 = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(buffHash2);
    String strHash3 = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(buffHash3);
}

Remarks

Call the HashAlgorithmProvider.CreateHash or MacAlgorithmProvider.CreateHash method to create a CryptographicHash object. You can open a hash algorithm provider, by name, for any of the following algorithm names:

MD5
SHA1
SHA256
SHA384
SHA512

Methods

Append(IBuffer)	Appends a binary encoded string to the data stored in the CryptographicHash object.
GetValueAndReset()	Gets hashed data from the CryptographicHash object and resets the object.
