[Mono-list] How can I md5 and crypt a string?

[Sebastien Pouliot]

Ariel,

The cryptography in the .NET framework works using byte arrays.
For a similar result, you'll need to convert from string to byte array your
password, hash it, then reconvert the result into a string.

--- Sample ---

using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

...

MD5 md = MD5.Create ();
byte[] digest = md.ComputeHash (Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (password));
string result = Convert.ToBase64String (digest);
