MD5Cng Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography

Assembly:

System.Core.dll

Provides a CNG (Cryptography Next Generation) implementation of the MD5 (Message Digest 5) 128-bit hashing algorithm.

public ref class MD5Cng sealed : System::Security::Cryptography::MD5

public sealed class MD5Cng : System.Security.Cryptography.MD5

type MD5Cng = class
    inherit MD5

HashAlgorithm

MD5

MD5Cng

Remarks

This algorithm is for hashing only and does not provide any encryption or decryption.

Note

Newer hashing algorithms such as the Secure Hash Algorithms SHA-256 and SHA-512 are available. Consider using either the SHA256Cng class or the SHA512Cng class instead of the MD5Cng class. Use MD5Cng only for compatibility with legacy applications and data.

Note

Using the MD5 algorithm with the FIPS Windows security setting enabled throws a CryptographicException exception.

Constructors

MD5Cng()

Initializes a new instance of the MD5Cng class.

Methods

Clear()	Releases all resources used by the HashAlgorithm class. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
ComputeHash(Byte[], Int32, Int32)	Computes the hash value for the specified region of the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
ComputeHash(Byte[])	Computes the hash value for the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
ComputeHash(Stream)	Computes the hash value for the specified Stream object. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
ComputeHashAsync(Stream, CancellationToken)	Asynchronously computes the hash value for the specified Stream object. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
Dispose()	Releases all resources used by the current instance of the HashAlgorithm class. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the HashAlgorithm and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
HashCore(Byte[], Int32, Int32)	When overridden in a derived class, routes data written to the object into the hash algorithm for computing the hash. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
HashCore(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>)	Routes data written to the object into the hash algorithm for computing the hash. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
HashFinal()	When overridden in a derived class, finalizes the hash computation after the last data is processed by the cryptographic hash algorithm. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
Initialize()	Initializes, or re-initializes, the instance of the hash algorithm.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
TransformBlock(Byte[], Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32)	Computes the hash value for the specified region of the input byte array and copies the specified region of the input byte array to the specified region of the output byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm)
