Generating hashes (System.securit y.cryptography)

Hello, I was proving algorithms to generate hash from string (MD5 32
characters), but those that I have found return hash to very long (because
the user must work with this number, does not have to be very long), exists
some form to generate a hash with length 16 characters?
greetings and thanks

What is the safest way to get this hash value, and be able to verify it against user logins in both Classic ASP and ASP.NET? We have been working with the system.security.cryptopgraphy MD5 functions in .NET, and the functions here for Classic ASP...

I am trying to provide some security to text files, by adding a signature at the end of each text file. this signature needs to be generated by some kind of hashing algorithm. so while sending the file, i will sign the text file and at the receiving end, the text file will be checked to make sure that the hash code matches. ( not that it matters for this but my environment is c++ in vs.net2003) any ideas about what kind of hash...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
