[Mono-devel-list] String hashing with Mono/C# on Linux

[Sébastien Pouliot]

Hello Phil,

You shouldn't read MS documentation ;-)

All cryptographic classes are available in Mono (with very few
restrictions - none applicable to the hash algorithms). This includes all
*CryptoServiceProvider classes (which are managed implementations under
Mono).

In doubt best way to find is to try, or to look at the sources ;-)

Dear Mono developers,

I post this to mono-devel-list as I consider this closely related to
Mono itself. I struggled with finding a working hash algorithm within
Mono. There are the Crypto Service Providers, but those are restricted
to Win32 as I read from the API documentation.
Are there any algorithms provided by the Mono API itself, or providing
support for the Crypto Providers on Linux? The best solution for me
would be a portable one, but if something subclasses e.g. MD5 I could
add some platform checks.
Any hashing algorithm like MD5 or SHA* would be fine for my purposes.

Thanks in advance,
Philipp Kern
