Mono List,
If there are no objections, I am going to attempt to code up the
following hash classes in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace:
HashAlgorithm
MD5
MD5CryptoServiceProvider
SHA1
ShA1CryptoServiceProvider
SHA256
SHA384
SHA512
Maybe the follwoing :
SHA1Managed
SHA256Managed
SHA384Managed
SHA512Managed
What does the whole managed thing mean?
Microsoft documentation SHA1Managed remarks:
"This is a purely managed implementation of SHA1
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemsecuritycryptographysha1classtopic.asp>
that does not wrap CAPI."
"Managed" is pure .NET and the nonmanaged wrap CAPI? Should both
managed and nonmanaged setup to run the same pure/optimized code on mono?
I'm thinking I can get it done in less than 2 weeks. If I'm not done in
that amount of time or don't have an update, I probably gave up on it.
From,
