CSHash

CSHash is an open source hashing library made in C#, for making hashing easier. It supports MD5, SHA-1 to SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, CRC-32, and more soon.

Using CSHash

Using CSHash is very easy, add an using directive, create an constructor for an digest class (like that: MD5 md5 = new MD5();) and you are ready to go! CSHash also supports awaitable operations for hashing, so GUI threads won't hang up.

Code example for an C# WinForms application (async)

using CSHash.Digests;
using CSHash.Tools;

        private async void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string stringToHash = "Hello, World!"; // the string to hash
            string hashOfString = await ComputeHashFromString(stringToHash); // async hashing operation, returns 0a0a9f2a6772942557ab5355d76af442f8f65e01
            MessageBox.Show(hashOfString);
        }

        public async Task<string> ComputeHashFromString(string value) // async string task method for hashing (SHA1)
        {
            SHA1 sha1 = new SHA1(); Converter converter = new Converter(); // create constructor for converter & SHA1 digest class

            byte[] hash = await sha1.AsyncHashFromString(value); // async hashing operation of value

            string fullHash = converter.ConvertByteArrayToFullString(hash); // converts raw (hash) byte array to an full useable string
            
            return fullHash; // return full hash string
        }
