public abstract class SHA1 : HashAlgorithm
The SHA1 type exposes the following members.
Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
CanReuseTransform | Gets a value indicating whether the current transform can be reused. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
CanTransformMultipleBlocks | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether multiple blocks can be transformed. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
Hash | Gets the value of the computed hash code. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
HashSize | Gets the size, in bits, of the computed hash code. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
InputBlockSize | When overridden in a derived class, gets the input block size. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
OutputBlockSize | When overridden in a derived class, gets the output block size. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) |

Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Clear | Releases all resources used by the HashAlgorithm class. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
ComputeHash(array<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.) | |
ComputeHash(array<Byte[], Int32, Int32) | Computes the hash value for the specified region of the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
Dispose | 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.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
HashCore | When overridden in a derived class, 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 stream object. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
Initialize | Initializes an implementation of the HashAlgorithm class. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
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 | Computes the hash value for the specified region of the input byte array and copies the resulting hash value to the specified region of the output byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) | |
TransformFinalBlock | Computes the hash value for the specified region of the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.) |

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 the corresponding data also matches. Small changes to the data result in large, unpredictable changes in the hash.
The hash size for the SHA1 algorithm is 160 bits.
