hashed string

[ad]

I used the function below to convert a string to a hashed string.
But I found whaterver string I input, I the output hashed sring always have
a "=" character ending.
Is there any problem about this function.

static string StringUtf8ToSha1Base64(string sOri)
{
Byte[] byteOri = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sOri);
Byte[] byteHash = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider().ComputeHash(byteOri);
return Convert.ToBase64String(byteHash);

}

No.

Base64 often end with a number of '=' (it depends on the length
of the input string).

No.

of the input string).

And if that is not good, then I posted code earlier today
to hexify instead.

Thanks,
If the code is no problem, I intend to use base64, it is shorter.

That is true.

Hex adds 100% overhead, while Base64 only adds 33% overhead.
