Hi,

I have been looking into implementing SHA-2 Hashing into my application, but I am unsure if it is available in the .NET Framework. I have read conflicting info on the Net; some says that the SHA256, 384 and 512 are different bit strenght versions of SHA-1 and some say SHA-2. If not does anyone have a C# implementation of SHA-2?

Thanx!

Dave,

Have you read the article Good Bye MD5[^] by ediazc here on Code Project? It may point you in the direction you want to go.

Thank you for the modification, Henry. It looks as if the article was moved since Sept 2005.

Solution 2

SHA512 and SHA256 are two variants of the SHA-2 algorithm.
