Examples

The following example computes the SHA512 hash for data and stores it in result. This example assumes that there is a predefined constant DATA_SIZE.

array<Byte>^ data = gcnew array<Byte>( DATA_SIZE );
array<Byte>^ result;
SHA512^ shaM = gcnew SHA512Managed;
result = shaM->ComputeHash( data );

byte[] data = new byte[DATA_SIZE];
byte[] result;

using (SHA512 sha512 = SHA512.Create())
{
    result = sha512.ComputeHash(data);
}

Dim data(DATA_SIZE) As Byte
Dim result() As Byte

Using sha512 As SHA512 = SHA512.Create()
    result = sha512.ComputeHash(data)
End Using

Remarks

The hash is used as a unique value of fixed size representing a large amount of data. Hashes of two sets of data should match if and only if the corresponding data also matches. Small changes to the data result in large unpredictable changes in the hash.

The hash size for the SHA512 algorithm is 512 bits.

This is an abstract class. The only implementation of this class is SHA512Managed.
