Hello,
How can I hash a string in C#?
I suppose I should use MD5 ... at least is what is used in ASP.NET
membership.
I need to has a string and compare it to an already hashed string.
Thanks,

How can I hash a string in C#?
I suppose I should use MD5 ... at least is what is used in ASP.NET
membership.
I need to has a string and compare it to an already hashed string.
I use this two functions to get the MD5 hash of either a string or an array
of bytes:
public static byte[] GetHash(byte[] data)
{
MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();
byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash (data);
return result;
}
public static byte[] GetHash(string s)
{
byte[] myBytes = Encoding.UTF8.G etBytes(s);
return GetHash(myBytes );
}
If you want a one-way hash for passwords try this...
public static string EncodePassword( string userName, string password)
{
TripleDESCrypto ServiceProvider des;
MD5CryptoServic eProvider hashmd5;
byte[] pwdhash, buff;
hashmd5 = new MD5CryptoServic eProvider();
pwdhash = hashmd5.Compute Hash(ASCIIEncod ing.ASCII.GetBy tes(userName));
des = new TripleDESCrypto ServiceProvider ();
des.Key = pwdhash;
des.Mode = CipherMode.ECB; //CBC, CFB
buff = ASCIIEncoding.A SCII.GetBytes(p assword);
string result =
Convert.ToBase6 4String(des.Cre ateEncryptor(). TransformFinalB lock(buff, 0,
buff.Length));
return result;
}

string me = "Pete";
int hashCode = me.GetHashCode( );
Am I missing something?
Yes. The result of GetHashCode is subject to change, even between
subsequent runs of the same program. Only while the program is still
running are you guaranteed consistent results. So it's useless for
comparing against a saved hash.

Basically, in this case I am sending the user a confirmation email
after she/he registers on a web site.
On the email is the url. Something has follows: www.mydomain.com/ConfirmPassword/?key=...
where key is an hash of a string created by joining the user UserName,
Accoount CreateDate, ...
So when the user goes to that URL I hash the same string again and
confirm the two to activate the account.
Isn't this possible?
Thanks,
Miguel

Yup, and MD5 is probably the best bet for that.

I have a class "Data" and I store Data pointers in an STL set. But I have
millions of inserts and many more lookups, and my profiler found that they
cost a lot of runtime.
Therefore, I want to substitute the set<Data*> with a hash_set<Data*>:
typedef hash_set<const Data*, hash<const Data*>, eqData> DataPointerHashSet;
// typedef set<Data*> DataPointerHashSet; // (see complete code below)
But it doesn't work! Everything is fine...

Or why I just did myArray = "Computers" but myArray.length is

There is a new trend to treat arrays and hashes as they were some
variations of the same thing. But they are not at all.
If you are doing *array", then you have to use only integer values for
array index, as it was since ALGOL.

The current Python standard library provides two cryptographic
hash functions: MD5 and SHA-1 . The authors of MD5 originally
stated:
It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to
produce two messages having the same message digest.
That conjecture is false, as demonstrated by Wang, Feng, Lai and
Yu in 2004 . Just recently, Wang, Yu, and Lin showed a short-
cut solution for finding collisions in SHA-1 . Their result

I wrote the following to do an MD5 hash. However, I have a problem (I
think) with the conversion from the Byte MD5 hash back to string.
Watching this through the debugger it appears as if the MD5 is
computing the right Byte for the hash when compared to other MD5 hash
generators online. However, when I attempt to convert it back to tring
using the line
String outputData = textConverter.GetString( result ) ;
I essentially get...

Hello,
I am using some very large dictionaries with keys that are long strings
(urls). For a large dictionary these keys start to take up a
significant amount of memory. I do not need access to these keys -- I
only need to be able to retrieve the value associated with a certain
key, so I do not want to have the keys stored in memory. Could I just
hash() the url strings first and use the resulting integer as the key?

I would be grateful if someone had a minute or two to review my hash
table implementation. It's not yet commented but hopefully it's short
and idiomatic enough to be readable. Some of the code (i.e. the
get_hash function) is borrowed from various snippets I found on the
net. Thee free function could probably need some love. I have been
thinking about having a second linked list of all entries so that the
cost of freeing is in proportion to...

I would like to convert url into md5 hash. My question is that md5
hash will create collision at 2^64. If you do long(value,16), where
value is the md5 hash string, would value returned from long(value,
16) be unique as long as md5 hashed string is unique? when you move
md5 hashed string to long, where will the collision occur, at anything
hash = md5.new()
hash.update("some_url_")
value = hash.digest()
value_in_int = long(value, 16)...

I am writing a program in which I need a hash table implementation of a
Map. The version of g++ available for Windo$e does not yet include the
TR1 support for this. It just has the original SGI implementation.
However the SGI implementation is so old that it predates the STL, so it
does not, among other things, include hash support for std::basic_string.
So I tried implementing the hash map from Stroustrup 3rd edition. At

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
